Congress has a clear responsibility to review the authorities of each agency, including the ftc, to more carefully define and limit them. That's how we keep agencies accountable to the American people. It's shocking then, that It's been nearly six years, the entirety of the Biden administration and the Democrat-controlled Senate, since the FTC commissioners appeared before this committee for an oversight hearing.
