W sprawie konstytucyjności projektu uchwały Sejmu RP o powołaniu tzw. komisji śledczej do spraw wyborów kopertowych

The author’s doubts relate to the question of whether the Sejm may, by means of a Sejm’s inquiry, investigate matters relating to the activities of the Sejm of previous terms of office and, in this mode, examine the actions of the Marshal of the Sejm, the Presidium of the Sejm, the Council of Seniors or the committees of the Sejm. The same applies to the possibility of extending the activities of an investigative committee to commercial law companies, including companies wholly owned by the State Treasury. The author concludes that the scope of the committee’s activity, as defined in the draft resolution, may exceed the constitutional framework of the Sejm’s oversight. In the course of parliamentary work on the draft, it is necessary to limit the scope of the committee’s activities in the resolution to bodies and tasks falling within the scope of the Sejm’s oversight, exercised in the manner of a committee of inquiry.
