Doe the President have the authority/power to order the arrest of Senators that don't show? If so, he could have them arrested and brought to the chamber.

According to Article I, a majority of a House can compel the attendance of absent members. Frist will need to hire bounty hunters.

Frist wouldn't even entertain senate rules(law) to Kerry's being MIA from the senate for years. His pay should have been witheld and he should have been arrested.

Before he could do that, Frist will have to find a backbone somewhere.
