What laws can a president break without being charged?

Physics.
Economics.
Civility. (with few reprocussions, however.)

Then, he can break but can be charged with...
Treason (check the constitution!)
Acts of war that are not disclosed (see Iran Contra).
Anything Congress wants to impeach him on.
Medical insanity. (check the constitution!)
Inability to discharge the responsibilities of the office of president. (check the constitution!)


Otherwise, he can assainate, murder, steal, defraud, imprision, double-park, spit on the sidewalk, redefine “bigly” or most other desires he has. Of course, congress has to authorize the payment for them.

@wistful you left out extortion.
Remember Obama care
@Virgo79 , You mean the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as authorized by Congress through due process, which revisionists have dubbed “Obama Care?”

Noticed anything that really changed?
Nope.

Noticed that President “Grab ‘em” has been severely inept in changing it as he claimed he would?
Probably missed that too.

Mindless drones miss important facts and then change the subject when they run out of rationale discussion points on the topic at hand.

And enactment of ACA was not a crime. Never has been, and public healthcare never will be.

@wistful not a crime?
buy something or pay the penalty.......
Ok.
@Virgo79 A poor way to enact compliance, I would agree with you on that. But no, not a crime. No more a crime than a high tax rate on consumer gasoline or tabacco.

Or do you have any REAL proof?

@Virgo79 well the way it was folks were going to emergency rooms without insurance for care. They couldn't be turned away so that meant everyone else had to pay for it anyway. Longer term care things like cancer we're untreated. The affordable Care act is a good thing. It works best if everyone pays into it. What is the alternative? Being a cheapskate isn't one of them. I suppose you could be turned away at the door if you're not a member. Costco health care?
@Tastyfrzz, trust me, we’re not even at “Walmart” level of healthcare for the public... the only real difference is that the GOP members don’t truthfully care about public healthcare.
