Presidents are above the law, got it.

Depends.
GOP President Nixon was not.
DNC President Clinton was.

No president can be charged in a court about governance. Technically a President can order any executive branch individual or department to do anything. For example Obama ordered DACA.

So Mueller cannot go to federal court and charge Trump with obstruction. He can however go to the House and claim obstruction. The House can then vote articles of impeachment to the Senate. The Senate holds a political trial (impeachment) where House members present evidence like a prosecutor, the Chief Justice acts as the judge, and individual senators act like the judge, jury, executioner, prosecutor, and defense.

You should have learned this in high school.
If the statute of limitations hasn’t run out, you may consider suing your Civics/Government teacher for malpractice!
