Lots of people seem to be saying that once a President is immune from prosecution and is above the law he's no longer a president but a king!
Course, the King hasn't been above the law since the Magna Carta in like 1215.
More than Eight Hundred Years since we figured out that in fact, no, kings should not be above the law.
You're thinking of a dictator or emperor or something. Kings have to follow the laws.
