The president is obliged to allow his staff to be subpoenaed
Did Bush's aides help AG Gonzales to lie? Congress wants to know and Dubya says they can't be questioned under oath, nor transcriptions made of their testimony -- rendering what they say irrelevant and not actionable.
Bush cannot disallow Congress' investigation of white house staff.
"Taken to its logical extreme, that position would make it impossible for citizens to hold a chief executive accountable for anything. He would have a constitutional right to cover up... Most of us want no part of a president who is cynical enough to use the majesty of his office to evade the one thing he is sworn to uphold the rule of law.'" -- Tony Snow
Oh, wait. He was saying that about Clinton.
