""It further states, "That the Speaker issue his warrant directed to the Sergeant-at-Arms, or his deputy, commanding him to arrest and take into custody forthwith, wherever to be found, the body of Lois G. Lerner and bring her to the bar of the House without delay to answer to the charge of contempt of its authority, breach of its privileges, and gross and wanton insult to the integrity of its proceedings, and in the meantime keep the body of Lerner in his custody in the common jail of the District of Columbia, subject to the further order of the House.""

Congress has the power to imprison persons guilty of contempt of congress. This has been fairly rarely used due to excess time involved and a more efficient process of going through the justice department. With the house blocked from passing laws due to the senate's refusal to consider house passed legislation, the time issue is moot. With the justice department complicit in the IRS coverup, this now seems a useful way to spend the house's time.

With uncooperative witnesses jailed, liars may have second thoughts about falling on their swords.  They are sharp and poky.

In time left over, a lawsuit will focus the citizenry on the criminal activity of the federal government
