(45,983 posts)He is the ranking minority member. He does not have the power to demand a hearing be held or to demand anyone appear before the committee.
Same goes for the "chair of the Senate oversight committee" and the "chairs of the intelligence committees". Republicans outnumber Democrats on each of those committees. Republicans are the chairs of those committees. They, not the Ranking member or the Democrats on the Committee are the ones that control the agenda.
Here are the chairs of the committees you've mentioned:
House Oversight Comm: Repub James Comer. Repubs on the Committee outnumber Democrats 26-21
House Intelligence Comm: Repub Rick Crawford. Democrat Jim Himes is the Ranking Minority member. Repubs outnumber Dems 14-11.
Senate Oversight Comm.: Repub Rand Paul. Democrat Gary Peters is the Ranking Minority member.
Senate Intelligence Comm: Repub Tom Cotton. Democrat Mark Warner is the Ranking Minority member.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are just woefully unaware of how the Congress operates and the difference between being the chair of a committee and the ranking member, the difference between being in the majority and not being in the majority. Otherwise, I'd have to assume that you are intentionally trying mislead people with your posts.
