    It is unclear, however, if the federal employee violated any laws by refusing entry. While members of Congress do have an oversight role over federal agencies, that power is typically exercised through hearings and enforcement of policies.

    And while the Constitution grants Congress the power to establish federal government offices, it is unclear whether individual members are granted unfettered access to those buildings.

    NYT got that boot ALL the way down their gullet.

      Really. So it’s fine for unelected people to come in and dismantle governmental bodies, but the elected representatives can’t come in to meet with the people who are not answering their calls? Want a definition of authoritarianism, there it is.
