But I question whether they any longer have the ability (not to mention will).

I have my doubts about the ability and the will because it has not been done in anyone's lifetime currently alive. Other references made me think the authority was limited to the Senate.

In case you were wondering...

If the full House of Representatives chooses to cite Lerner for contempt, the case would be referred to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia who would be obligated to send the case on to a grand jury. The House can also use the “inherent contempt” process which would allow the House to conduct the case itself without a grand jury, though this process was last used in 1934.

Oversight lawmaker: Holding Lerner in contempt is where we're going
