"A criminal cannot profit from his own misdeeds." has been a basic holding in all courts.
If I scam 100K, play the ponies or markets and gain 1Million before I get caught on the original 100K, I cannot use the 900K to effect my defense.
Soetoro is a fraud; by allowing him to use the restrictions necessary for a validly seated President allows him profit from his crime. As he is not valid as President, he cannot use the Presidency as a shield against his arrest and trial as a criminal.
His crime/fraud is no different than that of Madoff, ‘nuf said!!!
