Best Answer

No legislator is exempt from punishment for a crime and may be removed fom office by their respective house and then tried. But the executive cannot punish misdemeanors or some crimes if this didn't happen before. Explecitely does the constitution exempt legislator from punishment for speeches in Congress, to ensure the independence of each branch of government.
