Congress has oversight authority… individual members do not. Your timeline fits precisely what could occur ifthe requesting member were part of the majority.

There are no “teeth” to the implied threat beyond “we might be in the majority again in a few years and you don’t want to piss us off”

The irony to that of course… is it’s the same behavior they’re complaining about.
