On 4th of July, is the Congress in session, or is this one of the days everything is shut down? Can arrests start? (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1). The clause states that members of both Houses of Congress  ...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 from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
