No person is above the law. However, the process by which an elected official is tried is substantially different but just as effective. He or she is first charged--this is called impeachment and is somewhat like an arrest. The second phase is the trial phase--this is called conviction. I suppose that an elected official could be remanded to custody upon impeachment if the charge were serious enough, but he or she would still be entitled to a trial.
