Well, O’Reilly is wrong: the House can send the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest a person held in contempt, and direct that he be imprisoned until he complies with the investigatory demand, or until the session of Congress ends.

Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor,” most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, “I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.”

Maybe they can but I will bet they won't dare to be so bold. Boehner would never permit it in any case.

Good grief man!
How can anyone fail to understand simple sentences?
That is true and applies only to members of the House. No one else, not even civilians.
