And until it is fixed, it would be best not to make the claim that 'we are a country of laws, not men' because clearly we are the opposite, we are a lawless country. The other reason why this needs to be fixed is that it conceivable if this becomes accepted, that outside entities will do what we are failing to do.
But, there is no official declaration that a US president is immune from prosecution for crimes. Until there is, I will assume we have not sunk that level, at least officially.
