A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House,
2. The Minority Leader of the House,
3. the Majority Leader of the Senate,
4. the Minority Leader of the Senate,
5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence,
6. the minority leader from the same committee;
7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and
8. the minority leader of the same committee.
It is important to understand that everything the White House, CIA, NSA, and U.S State Department does is approved by these eight members who are accountable to the U.S. electorate. These eight representatives are the intelligence oversight “check” within the constitutionally established check and balance inside our federal government.
It is also important to understand that nothing ever happens without these eight members of congress being briefed on the occurrence. If the United States are carrying out a covert CIA mission in Benghazi, these representative would know about and have approved. If the United States is carrying out a covert CIA effort in Syria, these eight members would have to approve.
♦Five of the 2012 Gang of Eight members have resigned or retired from Congress (John Boehner -R, Mike Rogers -R, Harry Reid – D, Charles Ruppersberger -D, and Saxby Chambliss – R). This is not accidental.
