The House of Representatives has a wide inherent contempt power. The Supreme Court together with thence held inwards Anderson v. Dunn, an 1821 decision. The Court concluded that the House could fit a non-member inwards contempt fifty-fifty though no textual provision grants that authority. In reaching that conclusion, Dunn said that the declaration that "such an assembly should non receive the ability to suppress rudeness, or repel insult, is a assumption also wild to last suggested."
I submit that the President's recent comments are an insult to the House of Representatives. Under Article I, that trunk has the say-so together with the correct to respond. The reply could, of course, last a uncomplicated declaration that condemns the comments. Under the inherent contempt power, though, I mean value that the House could become farther past times (for instance) declaring the President persona non grata inside the House chamber. The House is manifestly non going to clap the President into around makeshift Capitol jail, only a far to a greater extent than pocket-size sanction seems appropriate.
If a fellow member of the House had made comments most other members comparable to the President's recent comments, at that topographic point would last a serious give-and-take most censuring or punishing that member. Why non here?
