There is considerable precedent for elected executive officials being asked to testify before Congress

In July the former Chief of Staff to Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short, warned that if the January 6 Committee compelled the former Vice President to testify it would set a “risky precedent”. Harry Baumgarten reminds us that throughout US history current and former members of the executive branch have testified before Congress and argues that such a request of Pence should not lead to threats of a future Republican investigation towards President Biden in reprisal.
