There is impeachment, yes. And that’s a good argument. If there were actual crimes committed by a President that President should be impeached.
How many crooks has impeachment actually held accountable to justice though? Witness the current resident’s crimes that are out there for all to see. As long as the Deep State controls Congress there will never be any justice.
But that comes down to an even more important question than whether a President can be charged with crimes outside of through the impeachment process. The bigger issue right now is HOW can criminal Deep State actors be tried for crimes? If that was able to be done then impeachment as a process for justice might have some teeth.
Isn’t it strange that Congress-critters like Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney can lie their guts out as long as they do it under the guise of their duties as Representatives? They have blanket immunity for all the crimes they are currently committing.
The Constitutional remedy for criminal lawmakers is them policing themselves.
The remedy for criminal prosecutors is elections. Which Trump was trying to protect from enemy takeover as his oath requires. Unfortunately, the corrupt, criminal system won the day through the Deep State.
I guess I’m saying that I would like it if some of the “concern” about how Presidents can be held accountable in the real world... spilled over to the others who are totally left to police themselves and the left seems to be fine with that.

Great point.
