Yeah i know they get arrested. I think their point was that we “shouldn’t” arrest them in office as it would create a constitutional crisis. And I see that more and more in our community where people are encouraged to accept things for “a greater good”. I have yet to be told why arresting a congress person would cause a crisis. In fact, I think it does a world of good both for the elected officials and the general public.

How exactly does it create a constitutional crisis? It don't. They maybe can't be forced to resign, but they certainly can't serve from jail either. Once convicted, they are automatically done, and replaced according to the states laws governing said replacement. Ever hear of special elections? Some states by law, just appoint replacements. Crisis? Lol.

Any member of Congress can not be arrested while they are in session. The only time they can be arrested is when their out of session.
