Congress derives its investigative powers primarily from the Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 1, which grants Congress the authority to make laws and conduct oversight. This inherent power allows Congress to investigate matters related to its legislative functions, oversight of the executive branch, and the performance of government agencies.
