Oh, yes - they just insist they are not subject to the law, and can break it at any time. That is just a part of what they believe. I am sure that I do not know what you mean.
Crazy statement - they are not perfect but are subject to checks and balances, and constant , intense scrutiny. Clinton lied to the American public, he was caught (and forgive the term, exposed).
Tough job... especially when people like you make generalizations.
How about you? Are you perfect with perfect integrity in all that you do?
Simple-minded anger does come to mind.

I think I know what you mean. Each of the 3 branches are jealous of the rights and responsibilities. Clinton was, Bush is and so was Nixon. Nixon was the only nefarious one though.
If you give something up (think of Joe Biden wanting to know how a nominated judge would rule on cases that come before him/her), then you establish precedent. It's more of a Kabuki dance than anything else.
Good question and a complicated one.

Is this a rhetorical question? Of course it is. Presidents are just like anybody else and everyone breaks the law-even you. As far as the details of exactly what you are talking about, you have not given any so it seems to me that you are venting and not really interested in information.
Only people who agree with you are gonna "know what you mean" and only because they are just as filled with simple minded anger as you.

American Presidents arnt the only ones, pretty much all government officials think they are above the law. Celebrities seem to think that too.

Because if they turn out to be right they will be regarded as a hero. Lincoln was even more despised as Bush and trampled constitutional rights more frivolously then Bush ever could durring his time.

Absolute power corrupts... absolutely.
This is true of all except of God Almighty. Though hard to believe because we are so used to "worldy" sin... He knows you better than you do yourself, knows your potential, and has an unequaled love for you in Him.

Sure we know what you mean, like Bill and Billary Clinton.

Why do you begin celebrating July 4th by drinking loco liquor?

Good question. Probably that stupid Elastic Clause.
