I remember when the possibility of Trump being prosecuted for obstruction of justice was being tossed around (before we realized Mueller had no intention of doing any such thing from the beginning). The statute of limitations - five years. How convenient!

So the doctrine of not prosecuting a sitting President not only creates a criminal penalty for losing re-election, but potentially allows for complete criminal amnesty as a reward for winning re-election.
