The '''Committee on Oversight and Accountability''' is the main investigative [[United States congressional committee|committee]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]]. The committee's broad [[jurisdiction]] and legislative authority make it one of the most influential and powerful panels in the House. Its chair is one of only three in the House with the authority to issue [[subpoenas]] without a committee vote or consultation with the [[ranking member]].<ref name=":4">{{cite web|last=Koempel |first=Michael |url=https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44247.pdf |title=A Survey of House and Senate Committee Rules on Subpoenas |publisher=Congressional Research Service |date=March 16, 2017 |access-date=April 25, 2017}}</ref> However, in recent history, it has become practice to refrain from unilateral subpoenas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://democrats.oversight.house.gov/images/stories/2011_0124_Cummings_to_Issa_access_to_records.pdf |title=Cummings to Issa: Unilateral subpoenas, access to records |date=January 24, 2011 |access-date=June 20, 2012}}</ref>▼

==History==
The panel now known as the Committee on Oversight and Accountability was originally the Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments, created in 1927 to consolidate 11 separate Committees on Expenditures that had previously overseen the spending of various departments of the federal government.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.princeton.edu/~pmc/oldsite/committee/H-GR.html|title=House Committee on Government Reform|website=princeton.edu|access-date=March 7, 2019}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://lobby.la.psu.edu/021_Postal_Service_Reform/Congressional_Statements/House/H_GovtReform_Oversight_Plan.htm|title=Oversight Plan|website=lobby.la.psu.edu|access-date=March 7, 2019}}</ref>
The
After Republicans gained control of the House in the [[1994 United States elections|1994 elections]], the committee was reorganized to include seven subcommittees instead of 14. This reorganization consolidated the jurisdiction previously covered by three full committees and resulted in a 50 percent cut in staff.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reform.house.gov/UploadedFiles/grchistory.pdf|title=Committee on Government Reform: Background/History|date=May 20, 2006|publisher=House.gov|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061208151229/http://reform.house.gov/UploadedFiles/grchistory.pdf|archive-date=December 8, 2006|url-status=dead|access-date=June 20, 2012}}</ref> In 2007, a reorganization under [[2006 United States House of Representatives elections|a new Democratic majority]] combined the duties of the seven subcommittees into five.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://oversight.house.gov/Documents/20070118152342-51607.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070131202759/http://oversight.house.gov/Documents/20070118152342-51607.pdf|url-status=dead|title=Chairman Waxman Announces Committee Organization|archive-date=January 31, 2007|access-date=August 11, 2020}}</ref>

===Subpoena usage===
In 1997, the Republican majority on the committee changed its rules to allow the chairman, [[Dan Burton]] (R-Indiana), to issue subpoenas without the consent of the committee's ranking Democrat.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-07/republicans-weaponized-the-house-now-democrats-will-use-it-against-trump|title=Republicans Weaponized the House.

In February 2012, the committee held a hearing on the [[Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act]]'s mandate that would "require all employers to cover birth control free of cost to women". Specifically, Republicans on the committee alleged that the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services|Department of Health and Human Services]]'s rules governing exemptions for religious institutions violated the [[Free Exercise Clause]] of the Constitution.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/us/politics/birth-control-coverage-rule-debated-at-house-hearing.html|title=Birth Control Coverage Rule Debated at House Hearing|last=Pear|first=Robert|date=February 16, 2012|work=The New York Times|access-date=March 7, 2019|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The chairman, Darrell Issa, said the hearing was "meant to be more broadly about religious freedom and not specifically about the contraception mandate in the Health Reform law".<ref name="Issa-bars">{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/rep-darrell-issa-bars-minority-witness-a-woman-on-contraception-2/|title=Rep.
