Also, what does a clerk do?

You were already provided with this answer:

"Clerk" means "Clerk of the House," who is currently Cheryl Johnson.

Has nothing to do with a court.

you can read all about it for yourself in this link


"Rule 45. Subpoena

(a) In General.

(1) Form and Contents.

(A) Requirements—In General. Every subpoena must:

(i) state the court from which it issued;"

You are now confusing a judicial subpoena with a congressional subpoena. They are entirely different entities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerk_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives#Duties

Under duties:

"attest and affix the seal of the House to all writs, warrants, and subpoenas and formal documents issued by the House.
...
retain, in the official library, a permanent set of the books and documents generated by the House."


"A court of record is a court that is required to keep a record of its proceedings. All the proceedings, acts and decisions of the court are retained on a permanent record. These records of the court are presumed to be accurate and cannot be impeached collaterally. Strictly speaking court of records has the power to fine and imprison."

https://definitions.uslegal.com/c/court-of-record/

Like I said, a subpoena imposes to "fine or imprison" as a penalty, therefore it must be filed with a COURT of record.

That's simply not true. A "court of record" has the power to fine or imprison. Guess who else does? Congress, even though they haven't actually done it for almost a century. There is no court involved with the issuing of a congressional subpoena.

That is the clerks job, as described above to file, keep, and attest to the record.

A "permanent set of the books and documents generated by the House" is not the same thing as a court.

Where are the subpoenas Nutilduhh?

We've told you several times already: they are not publicly available as of yet.

Anything else?
