Where there isn't the political will in congress to impeach there should be a mechanism for states weigh in on serious offenses. And I'm sorry but the Roberts Court got it wrong; "ordering SEAL team 6 to shoot a political rival" should be prosecuted.
No one is above the law. For the president, it requires strong safeguards against politically motivated prosecutions, but the principle holds.
Well, actually "Trump vs United States" says the President can't be prosecuted for official acts. So effectively the President is above the law in most cases. The interesting question is an action while in office is not " a faithful execution the law" then is it an official act? Not lawyer, much less a constitutional one so I don't know the answer.
If you're voting "no," where's the cutoff — after impeachment fails, after the term ends, or never while any appeal is pending?
