I recently read an article on CNN.com stating that if Donald Trump were not President of the United States, he would have been charged with multiple obstruction of justice offences. Why does being a sitting President make a difference? Is the President "above the law" or a "civil servant?" Can he (or she) commit a crime while in Office and get away with it? Or, would "justice" have to wait until he/she is no longer in office? 216.223.104.13 ( talk) 13:12, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
