A Free President

If the Supreme Court decides that Presidents and ex-Presidents have full immunity for any crimes committed while in office, it would lead to some exciting scenarios.

Imagine a vengeance-crazed chief executive, racing through the White House corridors with a deer rifle, hunting down terrified staff members and visiting Senators. Later, the President boldly robs Fort Knox, loading a stolen limo with gold bars. When the limo driver hesitates, the President shoots him and forces one of the Mint Police to drive.

On low-crime days, he just jaywalks, sprays graffiti on the Lincoln Memorial, and orders fast food without paying.
