62. Indeed there is...
Article 1, Section 6:
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.


Any arrest will have to wait until they are not "in session". That raises the question, of course, if, lately there has been no recess actually declared, can he even be arrested while he is at home on the unofficial recess? I don't know the answer to that.
