Congress used to exempt itself from laws. For instance the OSHA Act did not apply to them. However, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 changed most of that. You may want to google that and learn about the 12 laws it brought into effect for Congress.Fot the most part they are covered now...but I cannot say for certain becasue there are so many laws. I can say that it appears they still are...and I base this on the way that the last trials for tax evasion were handled. If you or I had done what Charles Rangel had done we woudl be in jail. However, he was "Censured"...
