Ultimately, the President of the United States is still subject to international law, in addition to being subject to the possibility of impeachment, the ability of Congress to override his vetoes, and the Supreme Court. That means that someday, some country, could theoretically decide to try the President for war crimes, or some other violation of international law. It hasn't happened yet to a U.S. President, but it has happened to other foreign leaders, such as Pinochet.

No one is above the law, not even the president. That is why he is pressuring to get these new laws in place to "protect" us from all these "threats". In actuality, they are giving him autonomy and allowing him to be answerable to no one.
The illegal wiretapping (and it was illegal) was a perfect example. Basically the president tried to say that he authorized himself to break the law. Sorry Mr. President but that doesn't fly.
So he answers to the law, Congress and the Supreme Court.

The corporations whose money and influence got him elected.
