Karl Rove is an employee and advisor to the President. Congressional powers do not include the right to ask employees of the president to come before them and testify under oath without reason. Those same rights apply to you. You cannot be forced to submitt to questioning unless a crime is suspected.
Don't be such a sucker for the Democrats on this one. They are trying to set this up to benefit them in the next election. Bush has every right to fire who he wants and unless there is evidence strong enough to charge someone with a crime, fishing for evidence from Karl Rove is not legal.

Travesty is not spelled that way...
And I don't care what those jerks are doing anymore... they don't run the country, now.
They think they do... but we do, actually.
What do you think of Dick Cheney packing up his precious Haliburton and moving it to the middle east?
Yeah - because outsourcing jobs to that region is really "American"...
jerks!
( I always get thumbs down on that remark because conservatives don't want to admit that Cheney is still lining his pockets with the Haliburton contracts... he made some vague concession to not be "in charge of Haliburton while he's VP" but he still totally is...)
And the people below who are stating that it is illegal to ask questions of Karl Rove are just being silly...
Where is a law that says Congress is unallowed to call someone to question for any reason at all?
That is absolutely their main function!
Section 3 - Clause 7
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
How could congress ever be expected to carry out such duties if they were not allowed to question the President or his henchmen?

A travesty- perhaps, but it has noting to do with the "patriot act" do some research.

No. Unrelated, except that both stem from Bush's desire to be above the law and do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
