The New York Times says: The measure, though nonbinding, is intended to put Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, on notice that House lawmakers are serious about their demands...
"nonbinding"? As you say: very curious.
Congress has given up its powers of punishment. Contempt is just referred to the DOJ as a misdemeanor. The DOJ then declines to prosecute.
Congress cutting the budget of a renegade agency? What a laugh!
Can someone explain the point of a nonbinding resolution?
It sounds like Dad saying, “You’re grounded....... unless you really want to go somewhere.”
