They can send him to jail until he agrees to satisfy their demands, just like a contempt of court.

The House of Commons had that power, when the Constitution was adopted, but the House of Representatives has not been that high handed. It asks the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia to bring a contempt proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Of course the US Attorney works for... Attorney General Eric Holder.

Interestingly the US House also has that power, just hasn't used it in a LONG time. Check out my link in #50. I fully expect the same forces that spared Clinton from a real impeachment trial to win out here, but even though they hold just the House the GOP technically does have the power to jail Holder. The left and their MSM haven't been letting anyone know there's anything going on here; currently only the right is paying attention. It might be possible to play this out just enough to be to our advantage. Fire up Tea Party types without awakening hammocked libs. Have Issa declare contempt the modern way and Obama quash that. Then have Ron Paul play "bad cop" pushing old style contempt to Romney's Rhino cop routine. Both could play their parts in their sleep, but I predict Mr. Constitution will stay silent on the issue.

There’s a lockup somewhere in the Capitol Building. Things can be arranged. I wouldn’t allow him any visitors though.
