For what? For not starting a war with Iran? (for now)


apparently he has obstructed justice, as LotM said.


I am fairly confident that the US Supreme Court would rule that it is impossible, as a matter of law, for a sitting president to commit obstruction of justice as to a federal investigation. This has been settled law in England and the US for centuries - the maxim is "no indictment can lie against the king, they all going in his name."

The US constitution creates the remedy of impeachment to remove a president, whereas revolution was and is the only remedy to remove a British king.
