What would happen if the President of the United States went to jail or prison? Can he or she actually? “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great,” wrote French political scientist Alexis de Tocqueville in his 1835 book, “Democracy in America”. The USA, he believed, offered equality that was not seen in other nations. The founding fathers of the U.S. had created a form of ruling that was not able to be tyrannical, that was chosen by the people and served the people, and if it failed to do so it would be removed. This America was a long way from absolute monarchies and from authoritarian government presided over by powerful dictators. It was supposed to embody what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the U.S Declaration of Independence, that, “all men are created equal.” With that in mind, welcome to this episode of the Infographics Show, Can a U.S. President Go to Jail?
If all men are created equal, perhaps that means that all men should be treated as equals when it comes to matters of justice. That’s why there are laws, and no people in a democracy should be immune to punishment. We could argue that the scales of justice do seem to be tipped in favor of those that have more money, to avoid close scrutiny by law enforcement or to hire brilliant legal teams to perhaps undo wrongdoings. Notwithstanding the sometimes mindboggling chicanery a very wealthy person might employ to get them out of trouble, everyone in the USA should be answerable to the same laws. This must mean an American president can surely go to jail, or prison. Just so you know, jail and prison are sometimes interchangeable words, but in the USA, jail is usually the place you go to for a short stint before you have a court hearing or you’re just serving a very short sentence. Prison is the place you go to after you’ve been convicted of a crime.

A president has immense power and committing something criminal can often be explained as "doing it for the good of the country". Where would you draw the line?

Indicted 3-4 times, has 70+ criminal convictions, broke bail conditions in one day. Judge fired a warning shot (means he avoided jail) and most likely never be sent to prison.
Yes because he’s still a citizen of the US
Exactly.
Very utopian of you but you do realize there are many people who commit crimes and don't serve a day in jail right? Trump has done enough to be jailed for life.
Citizenship doesn't define whether you can be arrested that way. The only situation I can think of would be with regards to direct treason charges or not reporting taxes on income earned outside the US.
So you're saying if you're not a citizen in the US they can't be arrested?5
Exactly! He is a citizen first, president second. Hey, I didn't create time.

*cough*Nixon*cough*
Answer; I think he can. Nobody is above the law.
L Gaines you’re very ignorant if you believe that. The entire system is made to benefit the elite class.
Krissy keyword: think. It means I’m not sure entirely. I do think that a president needs to get impeached first if they do imprison him, but then again, I’m not totally sure. I’m just looking at it from my opinion and what I can make from this video too. And FYI Krissy, just because something is made for somebody doesn’t mean it will always work. The Republicans made the two term presidency to benefit them, but now even they have to follow that rule too, so your call
@@kky.x exactly somehow people get to "bail" out of jail even though they have evidence against that person it doesn't make sense whatsoever

The video never once mentioned Trump. The examples were of Bill Clinton, Spiro Agnew (not a president but has basically the same protection from removal as a president and same immunities of office), Jefferson, and other characters in history.

I love the amount of detail put into their animations!!! The thumbnail had a president character who looked like trump, he even had the hair and the orange skin tone expect around his eyes!!
Our sitting president definitely needs Skillshare
Heck yeah
Ummmmmm.....yeah. :/
He needs skill and an attitude to share lol
Gawd dam right
It would be wasted on him
What I don’t like is that there are some wealthy people or people in power that are able to get away with almost anything. Such as sexual assault, murder, drunk driving etc. It’s not fair. Just because they have the world of lawyers doesn’t mean that they are the boss. I hope the President is able to go to jail if they do anything wrong.
All accused peoples, including the rich, are entitled to legal representation.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 Very true, but it's still not too hard to bribe a judge when you're a billionare
lord thick nipples it’s hard if you have bunch of people richer and more powerful than you that want you in jail.
@@nameunko Unless you actually are richer and more powerful than them like *cough cough* the president
Unfortunately, that's how America and the rest of the world is.
Me: looks at thumbnail

I’ll save you six minutes
Yes
Oh no no
Yes yes yes
Ask Nawaz sharif
Actually 7.
Even with top wealthy people the judge can deny the rich people bail no matter how much money they have
Yeah but they can be bride for the right price
@Optic500 "Can" and "Will" are two different things, yes any judge can deny bail but if they will deny they will not get $$ for their next campaign and if the family is rich enough they would dump their money to the judges opponent.
NOT SO OFTEN THAT ONE WOULD NOTICE THOUGH //
@@helookalikaman79 what campaign are you talking about? judges don't have campaigns
Georg Plaz He means if they were to ever run for anything afterwards or just simply need money for any cause; not necessarily a campaign.
Arguendo, after impeachment (charged by the H.O.R) the President would then be tried, and, if so, convicted by the Senate. If convicted the President would thence be removed from office. However, one can speculate that the Vice President, who would then become the President, would pardon the former President.
We don't know since it never happened before. No President has ever been removed from office.
We can look at what had happened with the former President of Peru (President Fujimori) as an example. I do believe that he was convicted but was later pardoned because of poor health.
FYI, I am currently a second year law student and we have just discussed this matter in my Constitutional Law class a month ago.
Thanks much for the information. I appreciate it.
So until you are charged with Impeachment by the H.O.R. you can commit any crime and not be detained?
Most absolutely his successor will pardon him. The President's power to pardon anyone creates such a stupid loophole. If the current President does a crime and knows he's not gonna get away with it, he will just tell his Vice President: "hey, I will give my chair to you, in exchange can you pardon me?". They both get out for free.
Of course they can’t they would just use their free get out of jail card
judge: your facin life
6ix9ine: i know the answer to this video

That’s so crazy!! I was looking up stuff about the former presidents then this notification just popped up

He can go to jail. Its possible
Yes, *BUT* like with the assassination of John F Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson ordered the assassination so he could be President {fearing he'd never get the chance to be voted in as such IF John Kennedy stayed President for maximum 2 terms} and after making a deal with the Mafia who were introduced to him by Frank Sinatra Lyndon Johnson then covered-up the crime & intimidated *ANYONE* willing to uncover the truth by saying {As I'd imagine as it all happened before by birth in '79} that IF he goes to prison the person going public will be "taken down with him" & him threatening to ruin their reputation by being called a traitor or Unpatriotic. 😡🔜😭 🚔🇺🇸🗽⚰

Yes duh a president can be jailed because no one is above the law
Ya Vang Perhaps not divine law, but the courts here and in places like Europe or Asia are not as simple as Divine Law. Divine law would in this case be the Ten Commandments found in scriptures of Judaism, Catholicism, and even Islam based on my research.

North Korea: Can we put Kim jong-un in jail please?
One of the founding fathers winks at you (illuminaty reference) at the beginning @ 1:00
Yes a sitting president can be impeached first, than he or she can be changed.
If a president is impeached, s/he isn't really sitting any more, at least temporarily .
The impeachment proceeding is conducted by the Senate, and if the Senate decides the president didn't do anything wrong the president can be returned to office. While the president is facing impeachment the vice president becomes the acting president, and the president temporarily has no political power until s/he is cleared by the Senate.
If, on the other hand, the Senate finds the president guilty, the president may be removed from office and face a judge...
This video was really good, I like how you made this video more fair by not mentioning current affairs
Yeah bout that…

Hey might need to update this one infographics
This brings up some very good points. I wonder though, what the law says about EX-presidents. Like if Trump is not impeached in the next two years, because the Mueller Investigation continues until then, would he be subject to indictments/prosecution for his innumerable offences?
Funny enough a couple years later trump is being indicted LOL
At first I was wondering why Skill Share would teach people to be criminals lol
The 20 million dollars question? Can a former President go to jail? The answer is YES.
Trump will never see a day in jail but his kids may be convicted tho.
no. he would have to resign as president then he will go to prison
I haven’t seen anyone comment this yet,
But at 0:16 he says in 60 seconds when the video is titled 60 minutes.
It would be great if we could learn things in 60 seconds. XD
max_h5 XD I just noticed
So this popped back up today. Nice.
here in Brazil, our ex-president (called Lula) got jailed
And another president too (Temer)
thats right Cristina
in the Philippines we have our former presidents jailed and later on run for government position.
