A Survey of House and Senate Committee Rules on Subpoenas
Introduction
The rules of both the House and the Senate provide power to committees and subcommittees to subpoena witnesses and documents. Committees’ subpoena power is defined thus: “The authority granted to committees by the rules of their respective houses to issue legal orders requiring individuals to appear and testify, or to produce documents pertinent to the committee’s functions, or both.”1 Consistent with this grant of power, most committees have adopted in their own rules subpoena provisions containing procedures for exercising this power.2 Committee rules may cover authorization, issuance, and service of subpoenas; may cover just one or two of these actions; or may be silent on exercise of the subpoena power. A subpoena must be authorized pursuant to committee rules—a decision to approve this legal order to a person to appear or to provide documents. Once authorized, if the committee wishes to take the next step, a subpoena must be issued pursuant to committee rules—signed and given to an individual to deliver the subpoena to the person named in it. To deliver a subpoena to the person named is to serve the subpoena.
