Neither side should travel, unless requested to do so by POTUS or the State Department.
Their oversight authority does not come from the Executive Branch.

Three reasons for a CODEL:
1. Opposition party trying to muddy the waters or get their name out there.
2. Boondoggle
3. Both 1 and 2
No, that is the reason for THIS codel. I'm not disputing that. However categorically saying that they are all useless political stunts is just incorrect.
The overwhelming number of them are not even publicized, because they go somewhere quietly and come back home. This situation with Pelosi is indicative of the current political climate, not all congressional trips

Like I said, I agree with them when they are requested by State or POTUS or are included with one of their trips... Otherwise, they are useless boondoggles...
