What's the deal with subpoenas?

In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive deep into the legal world of subpoenas, exploring what they are, how they work, and what actually happens when powerful people ignore them. The guys break down the two main types of subpoenas, trace important Supreme Court cases from the founding era through Watergate that established executive privilege, and reveal the surprising truth that congressional subpoenas often go completely unenforced with virtually zero consequences. They also discuss the ongoing tension between congressional oversight and the "unitary executive theory" that suggests the president and executive branch can largely operate beyond Congress's reach.
