N.D. Cent. Code § 44-09-17
in effect44-09-17. Senate may make rules for trial - Subpoenas
The senate sitting as a court of impeachment has full power and authority to establish such
rules and regulations for the trial of the accused as may be necessary, has power to adjourn
from time to time, dissolve when its work is concluded, and compel obedience to its process and
orders. Its process, including subpoenas, runs into every part of the state and may be served by
the same officers as other process or by any person authorized by the presiding officer of the
court to serve the same, and has the same force and effect as subpoenas from district courts in
criminal actions.
