You can't compare Reagan to Trump. fightforfreedom Jan 2023 #2

Correct. ShazzieB Jan 2023 #4

Because Reagan was a soft-spoken wolf in sheep's clothing. Trump is just a rabid wolf in your face housecat Jan 2023 #6

An argument can be made against not indicting a sitting president, but that doesn't extend to the Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #12

US Constitution, Article 2, Section 4 Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #62

The Constitution does not preclude indictment Hermit-The-Prog Jan 2023 #78

How do you read that clause as making a president exempt from trial by jury? Hermit-The-Prog Jan 2023 #80

The clause refers explicitly to all crimes and it explicitly excepts cases of impeachment from that Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #82
