Legal debate in Washington, D.C. is intensifying over whether a sitting president can face removal or prosecution if wrongdoing is proven, with cases involving Donald Trump drawing particular attention.
Under the United States Constitution, a president can be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives and removed from office by the U.S. Senate for serious offenses such as “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
At the same time, legal experts note that former presidents are not immune from criminal prosecution after leaving office, meaning potential charges can still be pursued through the judicial system.
The ongoing discussion reflects broader concerns about accountability, separation of powers, and the strength of institutional safeguards in the American system
