We are told that no one is above the law. If true than why can't a president suffer the same fate as any citizen?

Be imprisoned for life or be given the death penalty? Does the Constitution prohibit it? Why?

    Money, status, and power.  

    I see this with athletes and entertainers too.  They so seldom ever see the inside of a jail cell, even with a long history of doing illegal things.

    There is no question that ordinary people are not granted the same.

  • C'mon, you'll never make me believe that you would have ordered up the death penalty if Bill Clinton had been convicted in his impeachment trial. The Constitution doesn't set penalties for convictions of "high crimes and misdemeanors" which is the basis for impeachment.

     Bill Clinton didn't commit treason. He was not a traitor. He did not collude with a hostile foreign enemy as goofydoofylucy does with Vlad Putin. Clinton lied about consensual sex...or whatever it was they did with cigars and blue dresses. Not my idea of "GOOD" sex but I guess it was all he had available to him and the Lewinsky dame was available and cooperative. He was not under investigation for  obstruction of justice, collusion, money-laundering. His appointees were not corrupt liars who also colluded with a hostile foreign nation. There is no comparison between the defective Bill Clinton and the defective goofydoofylucy in my opinion uncle bob. None. If you think there is that is your right of course. What do we do with traitors? What happened to the Rosenbergs? I'm just sayin'. If what goofydoofylucy is charged with and convicted for does not reach the level of a high crime/misdemeanor than I shall settle for whatever it is they say he did. Does he deserve to be executed? I'd rather export him/deport him/exile him to far-off place where there is no internet connection and let him live the rest of his  isolated from media exposure. I'm gonna ask and see if others would like that too. Thank you for your reply unc! :)
