Perhaps you could point us to an actual federal statute and procedure that allows what was done to her as governor to be done to a U.S. President.

Conversely, maybe you'd like to show me the federal statutes that prohibit what she says was done to her as governor...

I'm sure the Clintons would be intrigued to know what protections they had. If you think Clinton was hounded during his Presidency, to listen to Palin she'll be hounded exponentially more if she's elected President. Listening to her talk, I have no reason to believe she'd be able to govern because she'd spend her entire Presidency fighting phony lawsuits and other attacks.

What prohibits such suits is the doctrine known as standing. Maybe you’ve heard of it recently. Unless Congress, pursuant to its power to do so prescribes jurisdiction for a federal courot to hear ethical charges against a President, as Alaska’s legisltature has done with regards to claimed ethical violations by its governor, there is no standing for any individual to bring charges against a President for ethical violations. I thought you would expose your complete ignrance and you have.
