That;s what the House of Commons does to the Queen or the House of Lords (can't remmber which one)...they knock on this door, the H of C guy SLAMS the door and then opens it...RIDICULOUS crap.

Actually, it's not rediculous for England. After centuries of corrupt kings and even a dictatorship, it is a symbol of what they stand for. Charles I stormed Parliment in 1642 to arrest members of the oppostition group. He was eventually tried for treason and executed. IN the United States members cannot be arrested on the House or Senate floor (I believe).
