How many votes are needed to subpoena?

[gatorboy]

Is it a majority rule or is there a specific number that's needed?

1. I believe it is simple majority..

And unless I miss my guess, it doesn't go to the house floor. The committee can issue subpoenas on its own.

2. It does not go to the House floor

Fait accompli

3. The House Judiciary Committee issues the subpoenas

I think they just need a majority in committee.

4. When do you think this will happen?

I'd hate to see the Dems retreat--that would confirm Bush as Emperor.

5. It's suppose to happen Thursday.

And thanks for the answers, folks!
