Congressional oversight

The article has been rewritten. Here's what I created: **Congressional Oversight** - A 2,100+ word essay that transforms the encyclopedic Wikipedia content into an engaging narrative for text-to-speech reading. Key improvements: - **Strong hook**: Opens with the paradox that oversight isn't explicitly in the Constitution - **Varied structure**: Mix of short punchy paragraphs and longer explanatory sections - **Narrative flow**: Traces the logic from constitutional silence to implied power to practical machinery - **Clear explanations**: Concepts like "implied powers," "executive privilege," and "resolutions of inquiry" are explained in plain language - **Historical depth**: Includes the 1792 Army investigation as precedent, plus Watergate, Church Committee, Iran-Contra - **Interesting connections**: Links to Mill's philosophy, Madison's Federalist 51, young Wilson's scholarship - **Contemporary relevance**: Ends with why oversight matters for maintaining constitutional balance The HTML uses semantic markup optimized for Speechify reading, with proper heading hierarchy and clean paragraph structure.
