-- where in the constitution does it state that congress has the right to summon any citizen? --

It's an inherent power.

Different example, the only mention of "arrest" is that Congress is immune to it during session. But the executive can arrest a member of the public on criminal charges.

What other executive powers are inherent to the legislature?
