One can anticipate the Republicans, now in control of the House of Representatives, exploiting their ability to convene hearings to question and review foreign policy. Depending on how this power is used (or abused), it can be beneficial (exercising needed oversight and increasing the transparency of policy and policy-making) or destructive (if, for example, hearings degenerate into politically motivated attacks on administration officials and policies).
人们可以预见到，目前控制了众议院的共和党人将利用手中的权力召开质疑或检讨当前外交政策的听证会。取决于他们如何使用（或者滥用）这些权力，结果可能是有益的（实施必要的监察或者提高外交政策制定的透明度）或是有害的（比如说听证会可能异化成对某些官员和政策的政治攻击）。
