Here's a quote of interest from an article entitled On Prosecuting Presidents by Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law...
In 1996, my student Brian Kalt and I co-authored an article explaining that a sitting President is constitutionally immune from ordinary criminal prosecution-state or federal-but is of course subject to ordinary prosecution the instant he leaves office,' a prospect that can obviously be hastened by impeachment. 2 In this Essay, I shall summarize my reasons for continuing to believe this.

Do you agree with Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law that all U. S. Presidents are immune from criminal prosecution while still in office? Or why do you want us to read what’s at the link?
