John Boehner working on resolution that would give Benghazi panel 'strongest authority possible'

House Speaker John Boehner‘s office is working with the Rules Committee to craft the resolution that would determine the contours and function of the select committee to investigate the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

The resolution could receive a Rules Committee hearing on Wednesday and hit the House floor for consideration Thursday or Friday, Republican sources confirmed Monday after Boehner, R-Ohio, announced that he was appointing Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the select committee. Boehner, who holds the power to appoint all members of the select committee, plans to name some Democrats to the panel unless they choose to boycott.
