00:00The hearing of the Congress was called yesterday, but most of the invited officials of the Office of the Vice President did not attend the so-called hearing.
00:09It depends on what could be the implication of this snub to the hearing of the Congress.
00:16Let's find out from Professor Antonio Contreras in Punto de Vista, Professor.
00:21Thank you very much, and good morning.
00:30The so-called reason why the officials of the Office of the Vice President did not attend the hearing of the House Committee
00:39is because it is not in accordance with the intention of a hearing, which is an aid of legislation.
00:46It seems that the officials of the Office of the Vice President forgot to mention
00:53that the hearing of the House or the Senate,
00:57even though we know that it is an aid of legislation,
01:00where it helps to study the problems,
01:04to have a chance to craft laws,
01:07or to review the current laws,
01:09and to improve them.
01:12So, even though it is small, we have what we call an aid to perform,
01:17the oversight functions of Congress.
01:20What is an oversight function?
01:21This is the review or study of how laws are implemented
01:27and how the money of the people is spent.
01:32It is clear that when it comes to personal issues,
01:34such as boyfriends or love life,
01:37that is not relevant to the hearing.
01:40But when it comes to how the Office of the Vice President spent their confidential funds,
01:47or whatever money was given to them by the Congress,
01:50the money of the people,
01:52this is part of the oversight function.
01:54This is not in accordance with the intention of a hearing.
01:59And it is clear that that is what the committee is looking at right now,
02:03how the Office of the Vice President and even the Department of Education
02:09spend their confidential funds.
02:13So, it is wrong to say that this is not in accordance with the intention of a hearing.
02:19If it is in aid of legislation,
02:21that can be said.
02:22But that is not the only purpose of a hearing.
02:27Another purpose, we repeat,
02:30is to enable Congress to perform its constitutional duty for oversight.
02:37To look at how the money of the people is spent.
02:41That is my point of view this morning.
02:44Good morning and thank you very much.
02:46Back to you in the studio, Dayan.
02:49Thank you very much, Professor Antonio Contreras.
