to testify about whether current congressional actions are "politically motivated?"
I'm in the mood to stir the pot. :)

The executive branch certainly has subpoena powers. Maybe not the president himself, but the branch.

I'm not usually this flippant, but when I ask neutral questions no one answers!

The President can not, but the Attorney General can set up a Special Grand Jury, which can issue subpoenas to talk to these aids and Congress people....maybe they should ask them about all the tax payer's money they are spending on themselves and friends and why in March they still have not passed the Department of Defense Budget yet...but have given pay raises to burger flippers at McDonald's...maybe they can ask Al Gore under oath how much he, his friends and family will stand to profit financially from the Global Warming scare....that may open many peoples eyes to this scam....

Well, first of all...it's congress that wants to issue the subpoenas. Second...I think congressional leaders are full of it for making bones about firings that are totally legal.
The e-mail between the people involved are being sent over to congress so they can read them. I mean what the H is everyone so upset about anyway? It's nothing but a politically motivated trump card so insure Dems make the White House in '08. These people are really getting on my last nerve. With all the issues this country has right now, there is just not time to play with this garbage and they're wasting our tax dollars pursuing the issue.
Why the H can't everyone just GET OVER IT!! What is it about 'YOU'RE FIRED' that these people don't understand? Why is it important? There's no contract that states they have any specific amount of time as a Federal Prosecutor. Nothing illegal has been done. All applications ARE....
'AT WILL' and that sure includes the Federal Government positions.

With the great divide between Democrats and Republicans, to a certain extent, most actions are politically motivated.

It's interesting but the Executive branch can not issue subpoenas.

LOL, if he wants to and has some evidence to back up the request for subpoenas, why not? Keep it all open. I bet there won't be 18 days of info missing!

Sure! Think how THAT would look! Totally expose him for retaliating against those who disagree with him politically! But after the Libby trial, I think they might have gotten the message about that bad behavior...if not, then Gonzales will knock it out of the park...

Sure, if Bush can find Constitutional support for his authority to issue a subpoena. Unfortunately, he has no such power.

What? Partisanship on capital hill? Get out!
Fine, go for it. Question remains, what does it prove or violate? The Reps have been in power before this Congress and abused the hell out of their majority status. Now that should be investigated.

I don't think that the Executive Branch has that authority, more's the pity, but it would be fun.
