Have you asked it yourself? What business does Pelosi have traipsing all over the world, costing the taxpayers millions of dollars? Name a country - she has probably been there, and on the taxpayer's dime. But why? What is her function?
She is a congressperson (1 of 435 representatives, or 535 people if you count the senate) who was elected by a relatively small number of people to represent THEM. She does not represent me, nor does she represent you if you're not in her district. Is it the function of a congressperson to travel the world at the people's expense? WHAT is she doing? What is the purpose of her visits? She is not an ambassador, she is not a negotiator. She is a congressperson from one out of hundreds of districts who represents a relatively small number of people. I never see anybody question these trips or the justification and authority behind them. It seems most Americans will put up with just about anything, without question.
What authority does Congress have to send members to foreign countries?
Senate and House members often travel abroad on fact-finding missions to places deemed vital to U.S. national interests. Certainly, the most important authority given to Congress overall is the power to declare war and to raise and support the armed forces. The authority is granted in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution.

Their primary function is to make law. In fact, it's the very first thing enumerated in the very first article of the constitution. They have numerous authorized responsibilities, but they are the only branch of government bequeathed with the power to make law. Having said what you did about war, do you believe Nancy's trip has anything to do with declaring war?
No, I don't think so. It was just part of the paragraph I copied.
I see. Thanks.
