When the president does it, it's not illegal
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.

Main issue is that the President (and members of Congress) must be judged in Congress.
And Congress really doesn't like setting that precedent when it could mean they get nailed for it. The lack of an independent body to handle such things as well as the whole sovereign immunity thing government agents and the government have is a major detriment to holding them accountable.

What, you don't have separation of powers by branch? Members of the legislative and executive branches can't be tried by the Supreme Court?
