If the Mob determines that a King and Queen can be guillotined for their crimes then the Constitution does allow a president to be indicted. Off with their heads.

Yes else it would clearly state that potus cannot be indicted

No idea but a BJ in the White House did not work

What is the crime exactly? You’re loser and a dumb person,the man was a presidential candidate who had affairs and they were going to blackmail him and he paid them off out of his own pocket,what is the crime exactly?

A sitting President can not be indicted. Read the law! Trump hasn’t done anything unlawful anyway. I know you wish he had but The facts are the facts

Only if they break the law.

hardball The best way to find out is find a President that committed felonies ,indicte & send to the Supreme Court for a ruling. Now where can we find a Criminal President oh yes Donald J Trump that the DOJ calls a felon. SDNY indicte & send.

Please let it be so!

NBCInvestigates If a president cannot be indicted, he or she could commit crimes to get elected, and as long as they are re-elected (thus exceeding statute of limitations for the crime that brought them to power), they will get off scot-free. Official Banana Republic badge unlocked.

Dear diary....

No crime no indictment! What does the constitution say of bringing false charges against a president and the hate-full rhetorical thr media in the process? Everything I eee from msnbc is HATE!!!

If it can find abortion it can find that.

Oh, please!

The danger to our country and its citizens by the corrupt and illegal acts of a POTUS can not be minimized and ignored. Laws of the Land apply to all people, regardless of position, power, or pocketbook. If not stopped in its tracks, it will grow and fester and be unstoppable.

Look at this Think Tank!

The Constitution does not mention this because there is no actual law that prevents the president from being indicted. It has been an unsubstantiated belief perpetrated by power grabbing govt. officials who have abused their authority. It needs to be decided by the Supreme Court.

Only if you provide evidence of a crime not verbal diarrhea.

hardball Quit asking and TRY. Otherwise, 2 more years will be devastating to our democracy, security, environment and economy. Please!

And the ignorance continues

IMO, yes. No one is above the law.

Yes

Blue 2020...Flush this swamp...

Of course no one is above the law, not even the president. If a congressman can be impeached , and congress is the check on president then it stands to reason the pres.can be impeached while in office!

It doesn't say hed can't be as I understand it! But Trump has done so much against the laws he has to be accountable & not just after he is out of office-America deserves Justice Now!

The answer is probably yes, but you got to have evidence. Just because you don't like him don't count.

It’s doesn’t say you can’t

YES

The better question is does the Constitution disallow it?

Constitution does not prohibit, it's DOJ policy. Apparently our justice system didn't envision an actual criminal accepting the position of POTUS.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Stop asking this question and give it a go.

Of course it does. The Cons doesn't prohibit indicting a pres because a pres who can't be indicted is a king by another name.

Yes, if you have EVIDENCE of a crime

MSNBC: no news; all wishful thinking.

hardball Why not if he broke the law he should be indicted we got to get this clown out of the White House orange potato😡

Of course it does

Does the constitution allow illegals to become citizens

Maybe, if they do something worthy, like killing someone.

Why do we keep discussing this? It's UNSETTLED in the law. SCOTUS needs to make a ruling on it. Now can we talk about more important things?

My lovely poorly educated cult followers would say NO.

Here we go. Get over it losers.

Yes. Article 2, Section 4. DISQUALIFICATION. Please read. Crimes committed to get elected disqualifies the executive branch elected. Speaker is President. Lock him up.

And there is only one reason why you even ask this question. I appears to be in your hearts and wishes.

Yes.

Yes, it does.
