EXCLUSIVE: House Oversight Republicans, Kevin McCarthy Plan November Surprise For DC Mayor Bowser

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will use their power to hold D.C. Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser accountable for implementing policies that they believe are hurting the nation’s capital if the GOP wins back the majority, the Daily Caller confirmed Friday.

Congress can exercise authority over DC local affairs, according to the District Clause of the Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17), and Congress reviews all D.C. legislation before it can become law. Congress can change or even overturn D.C. legislation and can impose new laws on the district.

There has been a surge in violent crime in D.C. throughout 2021. MPD data shows the number of homicides increased 19% in 2020 and has remained constant this year, the Washingtonian reported. Carjackings have tripled since 2019. City vaccine and mask mandates are hurting small businesses and killing jobs.

Lawmakers who come into the city to work from other states have also noticed the increase in tent encampments next to the Capitol Building.

Ranking Member James Comer and the other Republicans on the House Oversight Committee say they will try and fix the list of ongoing problems themselves by using their power on the committee to look into specific issues in the district.

“It’s past time for Congress to repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and reclaim its duty, specifically outlined in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution, to manage the affairs of our nation’s capital."

“It’s past time for Congress to repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and reclaim its duty, specifically outlined in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution, to manage the affairs of our nation’s capital."

While I am not sure that would cause any improvement in Sodom on the Potomac, DC Home Rule has been a disaster from day one.
