A House committee is taking action by issuing subpoenas to 15 executive agencies within the Biden administration regarding concerns over one of Biden's executive orders and its implementation. In March 2021, Biden signed an executive order titled Promoting Access to Voting, emphasizing collaboration between federal agencies and state, local, Tribal, and territorial election officials to safeguard voting rights, eliminate barriers to voting, and enhance voter registration and election information access.
The executive order has faced criticism from Senate Republicans who view it as a federal voter mobilization effort with potential partisan implications. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chairman of the Committee on House Administration, is spearheading the effort to subpoena Biden's 15 cabinet secretaries to provide detailed plans for executing the order, particularly in light of the upcoming November election.
