The mask thing should be enforced too.

(3,384 posts)5. it is. She is fining them 500 for 1st offense and then 2,000 after that.
It will be garnered from their paychecks.

but if you or I went in there with a weapon, we'd be arrested immediately and taken to jail. Why can't they do the same with lawmakers? Don't the rules apply to them too, or just to us common people?
I would write her a letter, but, from previous experiences (and she's my senator), I know she would never see it.

Otherwise:
Clause 1. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, 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.

(6,254 posts)8. Good point, but
what would they charge you and me with, as they arrest us? I'd be curious.

(13,147 posts)9. not sure but we don't have a specific clause in the constitution
limiting the power to arrest us while in the capitol.
