And what were the consequences of that? Clinton was impeached, Nixon resigned. Both were ostracized by polite society.

Immediate responses. No hounding from courtroom to courtroom post-presidency.

Adultery was still a felony in the District of Columbia until 2003. Are you suggesting that a Republican judge should have blown the dust off of the 1801 law and dragged Bill Clinton into court to prosecute him for having sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski while the rest of DC was sleeping with each other?

The point is there is no complete immunity from crimes, lawsuits etc for a president. They are covered for executive decisions only.

Correction: Adultery was a misdemeanor in New York, not a felony.

Clinton got Bill Richardson to take Monica Lewinsky to New York to get a job with Revlon.

Should a Republican prosecutor have had Clinton's misdemeanor sexual relations with Lewinsky bootstrapped into a felony because he used federal resources an personnel to hide Lewinsky away from the press in a New York job?
