Here's a question for the Constitutional scholars here on DU?

Does the Senate actually have any legal ability to 'investigate' the House? Don't Houses of Congress have responsibility for their own members and members of Congress have immunity during the time the Congress is in session?

And since when does the Orange Shitgibbon have the right to tell one House of Congress to 'investigate' the other?
