I think the Constitution does not allow a judge to compel the POTUS to appear in court while he is in office. In other words, he cannot threaten him with contempt of court penalty. However, I believe he could rule in favor of the complainant and strike his name from the Georgia ballot if he does not appear.

Clinton appeared by TV hook up from the WH.

So, this will be 100% of our black presidents defending themselves in court and about 2% of our non-black presidents.
Choruses of ‘what a racist country’ memes emanate from media and acadamia...

Wasn’t Bill Clinton compelled to testify before a Grand Jury in the Paula Jones civil case?

In Clinton v Jones the Supreme court stated that a POTUS has no immunity from civil suits and must appear.

THANK YOU BILL CLINTON!!!!! (never thought I would EVER say that)

Obama is legally compelled to obey orders of a civil suit.
