While in Office, the President (and Congress) are immue to the laws of the USA (I learned that in High School). Once they leave office, the are subject to the laws .. even the stupidest ones they enacted. so wait a few years, then sue for all he's worth.
The reason that you can not sue the President is, The President of the United States is representing the country and you can not sue because he is a symbol. Congress is also a symbol/branch of government, so the members can not be sued. Also, while in office, they are immune from most tax laws and other things that they subject us to.

Yes. It was in the deposition for a sexual harrassment suit that President Clinton perjured himself, resulting in his impeachment (and an $850,000 settlement to Ms. Jones).
There was a Supreme Court decision as part of that case that allowed the suit to be filed.

The Paula Jones one, I believe was filed before he was president on things he did as BILL Clinton..not the Pres. if you are capable of understandint the seperation......
This one will be dismissed as you can not sue the Pres. for decisions he makes as president...example...he signs into law this bill or that...He enjoys the same immunity as the Senators whom can say what they want without any fear of slander charges as long as they are acting in the capacity of Senator....

No, by law you must petition Congress for the right to sue someone holding a federal office and then you can. Lots of luck tho.

No. Which is why Clinton wasn't sued by that whore with the big nose while he was in office.
