DOJ policy. Got it.
The Office of Legal counsel within the DOJ crafted its own policy on this question. They disagree with you.
The DOJ’s policy is one that it has determined on its own. Can be changed with the stroke of a pen.
The circumstances have raised an often-asked question: Could Trump, or anyone else, be convicted of a felony and serve as commander in chief, possibly from prison? The short answer, legal experts said, is yes — because the U.S. Constitution does not forbid it.
Trump can still serve as president if he's convicted of a crimehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/11/trump-convicted-felony-serve-president/
The question I'm asking is can the sitting POTUS be indicted and prosecuted and since 1973 the DOJ has said The answer is no. You cannot indite a sitting president.
That's a DOJ policy based on an opinion to the reading and interpretation of the constitution.
That is not to say that the opinion wouldn't change and policy wouldn't follow.
I think the better question would be, why is it that you fail to see that these people WOULD indite a sitting president, if that were the case, given the trampling of our constitution they commit daily?
I presume your rebuttal to someone claiming our borders are being violated daily with hundreds of illegals would go something like this: "There are no illegal border crossers. Everyone knows that the protection of our borders was built into our constitution! It has been our long standing practice and law that our federal government always protects our borders. It's constitutional 'policy'. "
And
"J6'ers have not been in jail for years without a speedy trial in violation of their constitutionally protected rights! It's in the constitution as the sixth amendment. Our government wouldn't ever violate the constitution."
I would go on to name all the other constitutional violations committed daily if I thought it would help you understand.
The DOJ has had a policy since Watergate that says a president can not go on trial while he is president.
So since he is going on trial, it seems he therefore he is not president.
Commander in Chief is and President are different titles for a reason.
The Constitution is pretty clear that the President is the commander in chief.

They'd never do that. Devolution l
Some things are part of the movie. Have you read any Q posts at all?
my name is WHO'S KIDDING WHO because I am trying to stop kidding myself.
I'm going to try to stick to things I can understand and that make sense to me.
The DOJ has a policy that they do not interfer with an election. This shows you that the DOJ has fallen.

That is a different question.

Damn smooth-brain.
I'll ignore your insults and just address this
If the opinion/policy has changed we would know it. It has not changed and it is still the active policy of the DOJ.
