You can sue anyone for libel or slander with enough evidence. However, Congressmen cannot be sued for anything they say on the floor of either House of congress as part of a vote or hearing.

Addition: Yes, generally speaking, anyone can sue anyone for slander or libel. However, there are different legal rules if the plaintiff is a public figure -- or politician. Simply put, "famous people" have to meet a higher standard of proof when suing for defamation. They must meet the "actual malice" standard, whereas private citizens must only prove negligence.
