Can the Sitting United States President Be Indicted?
Richard Headkid
20 Apr 2019, 01:18Reportedly, when the Constitution is unclear on something, our leaders look to The Federalist Papers.
Here is an excerpt from the fourth paragraph of Federalist No. 69 by Alexander Hamilton:
The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and, upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.
So: no.
- Impeachment
- Prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law
You can't indict the sitting President. If necessary, the President must be removed by impeachment first.
All those people on the TV are just going on and on about nothing.

I say that because when they started singing that song... that is all that he did.
