    Question Congress Subpoena Civilians

    My question is about congress subpoenaing civilians. you know how congress interviewed marion jones about if she cheated at the olympic games by using performance enhancing drugs.

    well, what right does congress have to ask people about this? because there is nothing illegal about cheating in sport by using performance enhancing drugs.

    And if congress does call on sports stars to ask them about these things, can the sports stars refuse and if they do is there any penalty?

    Contempt of Congess is a crime, punishable by what, you can attempt to look that up!!

    If a person wants to "Quash" the subpeona, they can attempt to before appearance.

    Oh, I might add, Congress is an investigative body also and can subpeona individuals just as a Grand Jury or court can do if they believe they have testimony that is relevant.
