Hypocrisy galore, impeached once, tried again, convicted of 32 felonies, not even misdemeanors, americans would not arrest their own president, but they can go to another continent and arrest someone else, bombing the place, property destruction, then the us gov says it is legal, at least kidnapping, yes, property destruction, and murder, if anyone died, who are they trying to fool??
You can't arrest a sitting U.S. President for official acts due to presumptive immunity, as established by Supreme Court rulings in Trump v. United States, to prevent incapacitating the executive branch; however, this immunity doesn't extend to unofficial conduct, and presidents can face prosecution after leaving office, as seen with President Trump facing state charges post-presidency.
Key Legal Principles:
- Official Acts Immunity: A sitting President has immunity for actions taken in their official capacity (e.g., directing the DOJ for policy reasons), preventing federal prosecution for those actions during their term, according to recent Supreme Court rulings.
- Unofficial Acts Immunity: This immunity does not cover unofficial, private conduct (e.g., election interference as a candidate, business dealings), for which they can be investigated and prosecuted after leaving office.
- DOJ Policy: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has long held that indicting a sitting President would unconstitutionally hinder their ability to govern, though this is a DOJ interpretation, not a definitive Supreme Court ruling on all potential cases.
- Impeachment vs. Prosecution: The Constitution provides impeachment as the primary way to remove a president for wrongdoing, but doesn't bar subsequent prosecution for official acts after leaving office
