The question is what does Congress do now? They don't have enforcement powers.... or do they? Will the Capital Police enforce the violation? Who is the ultimate power when it comes to Washington DC? The Constitution grants the United States Congress exclusive jurisdiction over the District in "all cases whatsoever". The Capital police answers to the Capitol Police Board and is the only full-service federal law enforcement agency appointed by the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States.

It appears that Speaker McCarthy can 'motivate' Capital police leaders by threat of removing them. If so, McCarthy needs to start throwing his weight in this matter.

If they take it to court, it will be drawn out in endless motions and counter motions.
