How to prove to all Legislatures members that you can Subpoena and Issue Warrants

Page 581 Sec. 801 - Compelling Witnesses to Attend and Testify. Power to Punish for Contempt.
#1
- Each house of the Legislature can punish breaches of its authority when they are committed, witnesses for refusing to appear, or failure to produce books and papers.
#3
- A Statue empowering either house to imprison a contumacious witness is not in excess of legislative power.
- Where a witness refuses to answer proper questions propounded by and investigating committee, it has been held to be criminal contempt.

[Dominions claim that they are a private entity and do not have to comply with the senate]

#6
- The right to compel a witness to testify or produce books or papers is determined by whether their production is necessary to the inquiry and cannot be refused merely because they are private.

Page 584 Sec. 802 - Summons, Subpoenas and Warrants
#1
- A Legislative committee when acting within the scope of its authority to conduct an investigation, may summon and examine witnesses, require the production of and examine books, records, and papers.
#2
- The Chairman of a committee may make it a penal office to fail to appear before the committee.
#6
- If the subpoena is within the scope of the inquiry, the court CANNOT cancel the subpoena

[AZ Rev Stat § 41-1151 through 1155 (2015) Disobedience of subpoena as legislative contempt]

#7
- When a lawfully summoned witness fails to appear, a warrant may be issued to compel his attendance.
#8
- No Affidavit charging contempt need be filed before a house to authorize it to issue its warrant to arrest a contumacious person who refuses to testify before a committee. The written report of the committee is sufficient authority for the issuance of the warrant.
#10
- A Person who disobeys a subpoena of a legislative committee may be apprehended and brought before the committee by a sheriff under a warrant issued to him and prosecuted for a misdemeanor under a statue for failure to obey the subpoena or punished for contempt by the legislature but he cannot be punished by the judiciary for contempt.
#11
- A writ of Prohibition CANNOT be used to prevent an administrative or legislative body from proceeding with an investigation.
#12
- Service of a subpoena or the execution of a warrant requiring attendance before a legislative committee is NOT "an arrest" within statue exempting members of the legislature from arrest.
