Congressional Oversight refers to the process by which the United States Congress monitors and evaluates the actions of the executive branch and its agencies. This oversight ensures that laws are implemented effectively and that government officials are held accountable for their actions. Congress uses various tools, such as hearings, investigations, and reports, to gather information and assess the performance of federal programs. Through Congressional Oversight, lawmakers can identify issues, prevent waste, and address misconduct. This process is essential for maintaining the balance of power between the branches of government and ensuring that public resources are used efficiently and transparently.
