When making reference to the President, where in the law does a non-threatening opinion become criminal?

Question

This very question may be considered threatenting because it contains the words President, non-threatening, and criminal in one sentence, but it is merely a question asking about law. No federal alarms should sound! If they do, paranoia in this country is at an extreme level!

Answer 1

simply.. even if one uses slander,lies and falsehoods they can become criminal.Impersonating a president can be criminal.making fasle telephone calls and using the presidents name. and making accusations on MySpace got a girl in touble with the law once, so one should be careful when making statements about anyone.

Answer 2

There is a very simple rule Bush's federal govt has in determination of who is communicating a threat to Bush or not.

It's easy to follow and goes like this:
If you are on his side, do things to unfairly oppress his opposition and make an attempt to spread his false propaganda, any thing you might say that appears negative is fine.

All other cases of ppl that are just using freedom of speech are considered a threat.

Answer 3

It doesn't anymore. Treasonous acts or words are more associated with espionage. Calling the president a name or criticizing his tenure is not a crime...even to his face.

Answer 4

A non-threatening opinion of the president is not a crime in the United States.
