House investigators have asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify before the Energy and Commerce Committee about the denial of the Keystone XL permit. The State Department said it could not determine if the pipeline was in the national interest without further environmental impact studies.

“We have asked already Secretary Clinton to come testify before our Committee next week,” said committee chair Fred Upton, R-Mich., today. “If the president wont say yes, we want to let the American people no that we will. No option is going to be off the table; we can’t wait,” he added, in an apparent coopting of President Obama’s “We can’t wait” slogan applied to executive actions that Obama takes to implement measures that Congress will not pass into law.
