When you're a member of Congress, you may get into a situation where you have to run up against the President and his/her policies. It could be something as simple as overriding a veto, or it could be something as serious as an impeachment proceeding. Either way, I think it's the job of the Congressperson to make sure that there is nothing in their actions that would allude to any bias or favoritism in those situations.
If I knew that a sitting Congressperson had asked for the President's autograph, to me, it would bring up red flags.

I'm not clear on why it would send up a red flag. A red flag about what?
I think some members of Congress are able to refrain from showing bias or favoritism. Asking for an autograph has nothing to do with that.
I definitely don't think members of Congress should act like drooling tweens who just saw the Jonas brothers though.
