This is a loaded question.YES or NO
Explain and cite any authority if you believe a President of the United States is above the law.
First of all.....the idiots that ask it today believe Hillary is above the law.
When Obama made deals with our enemies and gave them billions, he wasn't giving aid to our enemies. He was president. He's above the law.
Now.....a tweet is grounds for impeachment.
Is it a loaded question? Even if is was it deserves an honest response (something I do not expect to come from you). The DOJ memo suggests a president is above the law, quite an ambiguity since COTUS speaks to High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Obstruction of justice, in United States jurisdictions, is a crime consisting of obstructing prosecutors, investigators, or other government officials.
We have seen this year the President, and this week Sect. Pompeo, directing subordinates to ignore subpoenas legally issued by The Congress.
The corollary question to this thread is, does obstruction of justice meet the standard of a High Crime or a Misdemeanor; and if the subpoenas are legal.
It was for the republicans when they impeached Clinton. Obstruction of justice was one of the charges.
If lying about consensual oral sex with an adult woman who isn't your wife when married is obstruction of justice then obstruction of justice is a high crime and misdemeanor when trump does it. Which he's done many, many times.
