Explanation:
The EU is a political and economic union of 28 countries, which developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws. Politically, these 28 countries are linked by the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Council (the last two have similar names, but they have different functionalities). Economically, by the ECB - the European Central Bank. Monetarily, by the Eurozone and the currency EURO, which is present in 19/28 countries. Also, there's a Schengen area, where passports are abolished and you can travel freely, BUT not all the countries that are in the EU, are in Schengen area (ex. Romania, Bulgaria); and vice-versa: Norway is not in the EU, but is part of the Schengen area.
I hope I helped, I used to have a "map" of interactions of all these countries in different unions/institutions, but cannot find it. If you need one to help you understand the EU better, tell me and I'll intensively look for it!
Update: here's the map.

<em>Congressional oversight</em> is the power to investigate and oversee the executive branch and it is usually carried out by the congressional committees.
Congressional oversight includes monitoring and supervising of federal agencies, programs, activities and policy implementation. In some cases, an investigation into an irregularity, a political scandal or into executive branch operations may be necessary.
This oversight authority derives from the implied powers in the Constitution and it is an integral part of the American system of checks and balances.
