Yes. Maybe... Every under sensible reading of Congress's authority under the constitution who can be.
The Administration has made some outrages claims in the past in order to avoid turning over documents or having someone testify so it is very probable they will attempt to prevent Rove from testifying.
Their arguments shouldn't hold up in Court. However, the way Bush has helped to stack the Supreme Court it just may. Also, much of their attempts seem to block seem to be stalling techniques as the clock counts down.

Yes he can be. No one is immune from testimony, although Bush can do what he did with Harriet Meir, and refuse to let Rove testify under an Executive Privilege, one hes been using to prohibit people from testifying when it suits his purpose. I don't know how many times he thinks he can go to that well without angering even his own party, Senators on both sides like to feel they have some power and guard it jealously. Its fairly sure that Bush will use it to protect Rove.
And thereby himself from any legal action.

They are still going to claim Executive Privilege, which seems odd that the law would protect a possibly illegal act. Only 17 months and then the truth can come out, and maybe the congress will step up and apply some heat. I doubt he testifies before Jan 2009.

Yes, he can be, though the Bush administration will still find some loophole to claim "executive privilege" because the events referred to in the subpeona happened during his tenure as an advisor. I'm not sure the lower courts may buy that argument, but with the Supreme Court having a rightist slant, it's worth a shot for them.

there is not any question in my innovations that he, and the Bush administration are hiding unlawful events. Rove is keen to communicate on the subject of the subject remember, yet not below oath, and without checklist. So particularly, he's keen to communicate in a putting the place mendacity wont be unlawful. Sanchez could press rates, and notice how govt privilege holds up earlier a choose. Rove could bypass to penal complex. not that he might serve any time, nonetheless President Bush might purely trip his sentence.

I asked the same question. The answer is yes he can still be called to testify.

Yes, he could, by court order.
The problem is we will just get a whole lot more of this:
"Well, gee Senator, that's a great question....unfortunately, I cannot recall the answer."
I feel that this is the most "forgetful" regime ever put together under one house.
