President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries. Etymologically, a "president" is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators.

Can a president be convicted of a crime as president, once he leaves office?
Q. If it was found out that President Bush committed crimes (for argument sake, let's say war crimes) during his presidency, can he be convicted after the fact? Is there a statue of limitations for the President? How long before he has immunity from this?

Should those running for President have to relinquish their existing office?
Q. In the USA, we have 3 serious contenders for the office of President. Each of them is a currently seated senator: Clinton from NY State, Obama from Illinois, and McCain from Arizona. These 3 states are not getting the much needed attention of their elected officials because they are all too busy running a campaign for president. Should there be a law that would require a senator (governor, rep, etc...) to resign their current political seat if they choose to run for another office during their existing service period?
Asked by kja63 - Thu Apr 3 10:09:52 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Absolutely. Many politicians do resign when concentrating on a higher office, but these current contenders are all afraid of losing the power they have if they don't win the bid election. They have all missed a large number of votes in the Senate, so how is that serving the people that elected them?

How Many times has the President exempted 1456 Coordination and cooperation?
Q. This is related to the Winter v. NRDC case that was ruled in the Supreme Court. I know the President exempted the Navy after the California ruling, but how many times before that case has the President exempted 1456. Coordination and cooperation? Any help will be great.
