Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a plan for making it crystal clear in the future that sitting presidents can be indicted.
Warren, a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, proposed the legislation on Friday after special counsel Robert Mueller cited a Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) finding earlier in the week that prohibits him from even considering pursuing criminal charges against President Trump.
“Congress should make it clear that Presidents can be indicted for criminal activity, including obstruction of justice,” Warren said. “And when I’m President, I’ll appoint Justice Department officials who will reverse flawed policies so no President is shielded from criminal accountability.”
In addition to her call for legislation, Warren said that if elected she’ll push to amend obstruction of justice statutes to explicitly allow for an indictment if a president abuses the powers of the office. She said she'd also make certain that the assistant attorney general appointed to head the OLC will reverse the Watergate-era opinion that says a sitting president cannot be indicted.

Mad Squaw Disease.
This poor woman, Elizabeth Warren is a truly certified “Nutcase”!!
Pass a law that only applies to Republicans.
Since its only going to be enforced against Republicans, they might as well make it a law.
Then if she becomes President we can gather all her documents back to high school and indict her at will. I say pass that law, but only if it applies to those that supported it.
And she’s outpolling Kamala Harris, go figure!
Do you want to start an uprising, Liz?
Because that is how you start an uprising.
Let’s check with Bill Clinton as to his opinion on the matter...
Thank the Lord we have people as smart as Elizabeth Warren to correct the mistakes and oversights of those blithering idiot moron racist Founding Fathers who just had no idea how to set up a stable and just system of government.

Constitutioning is hard.
The left’s quest to continually criminalize political opposition.
Pass a law that anyone who falsely claims Native American ancestry goes to prison.
“Ugh.”
They decided in 79 that a president couldn’t be bothered. I wonder who was president then?
Also.. “when I’m president”... is this article in the Sacramento Bee?
Yea, we need to get a Federal Law Enforcement Agency that does our bidding too. I would love to see Fox News meet a Swat Team at Joy Beyhar’s house some morning.
We need to pass a law to stop people from using a false narrative of their lineage for political gain or employment advantage.
I'm pretty sure the law you pass would also apply to you, should you ever become President.
Remember that whole falsifying college documents to get a minority advantage over real minorities?
And when I'm President I'll make it rain Skittles.
Typical liberal response to anything that upsets them. Don’t like a TV program, we change the channel, they want to ban the program. Don’t like 32oz soft drinks, we don’t buy them, they ban their sale. Don’t want to sell wedding cakes to gays, we look for another baker, they take it to the Supreme Court to force bakers to sell even though it goes against their religion. Lighten up, Liberals...you’re destroying our freedoms.
