What if there were a rule against civil suits against the president until...

... he/she is out of office?

I'm sick to death of the news being filled with these stories. I was sick of it back in Clinton's day. I know the down side is that when suits are delayed witnesses and evidence might disappear, but this is just nuts. Make no mistake. I believe all three women. But I would rather this all happen when we, the people, are not forced to pay it wall to wall attention.

I'm not a troll. I'm just sick of it.

Beyond that, if someone like Trump somehow made it to the oval office but (again like Trump) is highly susceptible to coercion/blackmail, I think we need to know.

I don't think it is the civil suits that are so exhausting, so much as Trump's scandals and chaos in the WH and beyond 24/7.

whitewater/Monica Lewinsky investigation, Ken Starr, apologizing for it when there was some question if the George W Bush WH was going to be investigated for 9/11, and everything that came from that. GOP get all soft and wail when they get the same treatment they dole out to Democratic leaders. How many Benghazi investigations were there?

Maybe you'd like to self delete. Sound rw/trollish as a suggestion to me.

You aren't suggesting Cheetolini would be a much better President if he didn't have all those pending lawsuits by women he assaulted sexually, are you?

How about we elect a President without pending lawsuits.
