Is the President subject to the UCMJ?

I would think the CIC should be, but have not been able to find anything definitive. I'd sure like to see Chimpy prosecuted under article 99.

2. The RW would bring this up during the Monica period
Since "Adultery" believe it or not is still on the books in the UCMJ.

I think only impeachment is available to Bush and Dick.

4. No, he's a civilian
Only military personnel are subject to the UCMJ.
