2 U.S.C. § 30a — Jury duty exemption of elected officials of legislative branch

(a) No matter what other federal, state, or local law says, elected officials of Congress don't have to serve on a jury. This covers both grand juries and petit juries (the regular trial juries). It doesn't matter whether a court sends a summons or tries some other way to force them to show up — they're excused either way. (b) This section defines "elected official of the legislative branch." It means each member of the U.S. House of Representatives. It also means the Delegates representing the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. It includes the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico. And it includes every U.S. Senator.
