Deleted Material that lacks citations on Hx of oversight
Art said: "However, oversight, which dates to the earliest days of the Republic, also occurs in a wide variety of congressional activities and contexts. I deleted the historical comment, though the history of this topic is certainly interesting.  There was no citation provided for this sentence; a reliable source is needed. Aside from that, the USA is not and never has been a Republic. US has a mixed constitution with a Republic element: 1) monarchy pres, 2) oligarchy unelected life-time appointed judges (w/ SCOTUS), 3) bureaucracy of unelected bureaucrats who come & go (with hard to remove civil service employees) churning out like millions of regulations, and 4) Congress which is the Republic element in the system.  The Oligarchs claim to be the final authority over both monarchy pres & republic Congress.  Of course the system is also complicated by federalism. At least the article does not seem to err by calling US a Democracy, which it certainly is not, as the people do not vote the laws (by and large). (PeacePeace (talk) 16:05, 4 February 2018 (UTC))
