Ummm - Lincoln during the War Of Secession (Civil War)- he suspended habius corpus and even jailed some members of congress .....pleasant thought today ....

Lincoln ... even jailed some members of congress

Interested in specifics. The most prominent person arrested for disloyal activities, as far as I know, was Clement Vallandigham. He was a former member of Congress campaigning for governor of Ohio at the time of his arrest.

If you know of actual seated Congressmen who were arrested, I'd be interested in who they were.
