According to the United States Constitution, jurors in an impeachment trial in the Senate are not subject to criminal charges for their actions during the trial. Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution states that "the Senators and Representatives shall be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place." This privilege protects Senators from being arrested or charged with crimes for their actions during an impeachment trial, including for obstruction of justice. However, this privilege does not protect Senators from being expelled from the Senate for their actions during an impeachment trial. Under the Constitution, the Senate has the power to expel a Senator by a two-thirds vote for "disorderly behavior." This power has been used sparingly in the past, and it is not clear how it might be applied in the context of an impeachment trial.
