1. How long until minority members issue a myriad of useless subpoenas

in order to delay the process?

3. Minority subpoenas require the concurrence of the chair.

If there is no concurrence by the chair, the ranking member may ask for a vote of the committee. Since the committee reflects the makeup of the House, such votes will probably not favor the minority side.

But, the ranking member can ask, if the chair doesn't concur. If the ranking member can get a majority of the committee to go along, then he can have his subpoena. If not, he can't. Elections matter.

4. The resolution is crafted to avoid that

The ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee is authorized, with the concurrence of the chair, to require, as deemed necessary to the investigation—
(i) by subpoena or otherwise—
(I) the attendance and testimony
of any person (including at a taking
of a deposition); and the production of books, records, correspondence, memoranda, papers, and documents; and

(ii) by interrogatory, the furnishing of information.

(B) In the case that the chair declines to concur in a proposed action of the ranking minority member pursuant to subparagraph (A), the ranking minority member shall have the right to refer to the committee for decision

In other words, the Ranking Member can subpoena someone ONLY if the Chair agrees or if a majority of the committee agrees.

5. +1

2. Additional time for questions?

Did l read that right? The chair can add as many 90 minute sessions as needed before the standard 5 minute back and forth. The time in the sessions is still split which is fair.

The other great thing is there will be a public redacted transcript of the private sessions.
