@jcriecke would be nice to at least see our elected officials try. But of course they won’t.

@futurebird “The power is therefore broader in scope than the criminal contempt statute in that it may be used not only to combat subpoena non-compliance, but also in response to other actions that could be viewed as "obstructing" or threatening either house's exercise of its legislative powers.”

So they could arrest the president, I am thinking. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R45653

@futurebird Congress could do something like that using the Contempt of Congress power: “The inherent contempt power is a constitutionally based authority given to each house to unilaterally arrest and detain an individual found to be "obstruct[ing] the performance of the duties of the legislature." 1/2
