Yes or no. There is no sentence in the constitution that states that the president, VP, and the president's children cannot be indicted.

Today Rep. @tedlieu submitted the US Constitution to the record as proof that it does not say a sitting US president can not be indicted. This followed Matt Whitaker refusing to acknowledge such. Ted Lieu is AWESOME! #HouseJudiciaryCommittee

He could not get the idiot to admit that it was not in the US Constitution and submitted a request to submit a copy of the Constitution that shows that there is no language prohibiting the indictment of a sitting President.

(60 posts)Ted Lieu. He's like a hornet continually stinging the arse of our orange Chimp in Chief. He doesn't let Drumpf get away with his asinine tweets, without responding.
