quote:
If the bar to prosecuting a President, or former President for alleged crimes while President, is impeachment and conviction then it applies to murder just as it does insurrection.
But it’s not. There is no bar to prosecuting a sitting or former President for crimes committed outside the scope of the duties of his office—nor should anyone want there to be. POTUS is not a Roman consul.
quote:
Commander in chief orders a strike to kill an enemy combatant who is a US citizen. Do we really want local DAs or even a federal prosecutor to have the power to indict a President over such action?
Action ordered as part of his duties as POTUS. Charges dismissed/indictment quashed.
