Is the President above the law?


Is the President above the law?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/05/politics/trump-russia-defense-in-disarray/index.html

[It seems there is no generally agreed on answer to this question. Legally its a little cloudy with some constitutional scholars claiming "yes" and others saying "absolutely not". Then there's precedent. Nixon was shown not to be above the law but does that mean anything by todays standards? Hoover of the FBI was above the law as the powerful feared him and his secret files. Because of that Hoover did whatever he wanted and ignored the law. How will Trump be judged on this matter? What do you think?]
