LAWYERS: Can a sitting President be tried for crimes?

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 12:44 PM by benburch

Yes, I know about impeachment, but the precedent set in the Bill Clinton/Jennifer Flowers case would seem to leave the door open for a criminal prosecution, or at least compelling the President to testify in the trial of others connected with his misdeeds.

Any lawyers here care to comment?
