Should a sitting president be shielded from prosecution? If so, does that create a precedent for unchecked authority? Let me know what you think.

    No. They should be advised and required to follow legal counsel like any other executives and their refusal to abide by that or purposefully surrounding themselves with legal yes men should open them up to direct prosecution and civil liabillity (criminal first than make it rain with civil)

    You know, like anyone anywhere else that has to do a job and follow the law
