=== Civil procedures === Senate Rules authorize the Senate to direct the Senate Legal Counsel to file a civil action against any private individual found in contempt. Upon motion by the Senate, the [[United States district court|federal district court]] issues another order for a person to comply with Senate process. If the subject then refuses to comply with the Court's order, the person may be cited for [[contempt of court]] and may incur sanctions imposed by the Court. The process has been used at least six times.
