You can go to jail for speeding if it is 26 MPH over the speed limit, or for reckless driving.
Again, this is a very unlikely scenerio, but if I am hearing you correctly, you are saying that unless a president was impeached by the house and convicted by the senate for this reckless driving, they would avoid prosecution until after the presidency?
Also where does it say in the constitution you cannot be the president if you are in jail? Joe Exotic is actually running a presidential run from jail right now.
So you actually believe Joe Biden would go to jail he if drove 26mph over the speed limit?
Are you going to answer the question or just deflect?
I do believe (as with Grant) there would be some sort of prosecution, and probably a plea deal. This does not change the fact that he would be charged and face consequences as a sitting President. Do you disagree that he would face charges as a sitting President?

For serious charges the president would be impeached and a senate trial would precede the criminal trial.
For trivial charges the president would play along to give the appearance of not being above the law.
Everyone knows the ruling class is not subject to the same laws the rest of us are.
Big picture: No immunity for Donald. Jan 6 trial could be this summer. Fulton County RICO case could be early summer. And Manhattan filing false documents to cover up his payments to cover up sex with Stormy and thereby illegally affect his election (for which Donald's former lawyer Cohen already served his time in prison) is coming in just a few weeks. Bathroom stolen docs case coming after judge Cannon gets booted. Trump is facing lifetimes of prison.

What if the President sends a armed mob of people into the Capitol and they murder all members of Congress, making impeachment impossible?

Finally an answer!
You believe if he wanted to not "give the appearance of being above the law" the President could just say "nah, you cannot prosecute me" for crimes not included in the impeachment definition!
I think you are incorrect and that you are misreading the Constitution and your belief that it is crystal clear is incorrect.
Looking forward to you deflecting with me being in a cult!
Obviously if a sitting president commits a crime prosecutors are not bound by anything to wait till impeachment before prosecuting. However generally it seems to generally be an uncomfortable situation to have a president being prosecuted while in office so usually its a good idea to wait first. This is not because of any law if the president is culpable in a crime prosecutors do not have to wait for impeachment

I just want to point out that this thread was strikingly intelligent by LetsRun standards over the last few months when posters simply ignored persons trying to derail the discussion.
Use the block function or ignore persons trying to bait you into stupid rabbit holes and perhaps the thread can return to good faith insights and discussion.
Two Florida men who stormed the U.S. Capitol with other members of the far-right Oath Keepers group were sentenced Friday to three years in prison for seditious conspiracy and other charges.

One apoplectic poster here thinks it's his job to derail every Trump thread. I used to think he was calculated.

All posts should end with tag line: 'And so Donald is being prosecuted for felony crimes he committed concerning Jan 6th.'
