""The President pulls out a gun and shoots his wife. Are you going to tell me that he wouldn't be indicted? ""

Well, yes, that is correct. A sitting President is immune from any legal prosecution.

I would hope that in a case of murder that congress would remove him from office in very short order, but with Clinton I don't know even then.

Sorry Jim, but that's just a legal opinion in my book. It's about as credible as Clinton's excuses were. You and I both know a sitting President would be arrested for murder just like anyone else.

"The President (Beelzebubba) pulls out a gun and shoots his wife (The HildaBeast). Are you going to tell me that he wouldn't be indicted? "

Fantacizing?

I believe it was Joe Biden who told the House Impeachment Counsel (forget his name but he is a old time Democrat) that even if you had a video tape of Clinton raping her and shooting her in the head you couldn't get 67 votes. I am paraphrasing of course but something like that was stated. I firmly believe NOTHING would have got the Senate to REMOVE the scumbag from office.

In Klinton's case, some might rule it justifiable.

He should have been given a major award if he had done this.
