I’m just listing what Congress could do.

Instead, they are likely to keep self-neutering themselves and only do stuff like “we might cut one tiny portion of your budget by a small amount.”

Congress could be a royal pain Hegseth’s side. Sigh.

Cut the budget, sure.

But also subpoena the video. And release it through Congress.

Also, don’t forget this:

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives “the sole Power of Impeachment” (Article I, Section 2) of federal officers and gives the Senate “the sole Power to try all Impeachments” (Article I, Section 3). In the constitutional procedure of impeachment and removal, the House serves in the role of a grand jury bringing charges against an officer suspected of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (Article II, Section 4).

Last, a criminal referral to the DoJ. DoJ will ignore it, but let’s get them on the record as ignoring it.

Right? Our cooking in summer months is like $3 of gas per month, plus all the fixed fees. The gas furnace in the winter months is like $150-200, each month, depending on how cold it is. And we cook at home a lot. The stove/oven usage is a rounding error.
