A president is a leader of an organization, company, trade union, university, or country.

Etymologically, a president is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators.

Can a president be convicted of a crime as president, once he leaves office?
Q. If it was found out that President Bush committed crimes (for argument sake, let's say war crimes) during his presidency, can he be convicted after the fact? Is there a statue of limitations for the President? How long before he has immunity from this?

A. yes.. but you'd have to find a cop that wasnt an accomplice.. or one that wasnt as crooked as bush.. to arrest him.. then a court not as corrupt as bush to convict him.. so .. you can forget about it.. the first test of obama will be the bush criminal enterprise issue that hijacked our govt.. and drove it into ruin.. murder torture kidnapping agressive war.. attacking and destroying much of the us constitution.. using lies to fraud the people. no bid contracts to their friends .. nothing more than money laundering.. except that it alsto cost close to a million lives. i dont know of any statute of limitations on treason.. torture.. murder.. kidnapping.. treason.. these are all capitol crimes i think. unfortunatly i think obama will… [cont.]

Q. Permutation How many ways can president and vice president be selected in a class of 12 students?
Asked by Billy Ray - Sat Apr 25 23:38:27 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You said it: nPr So 12 P 2 = 12 x 11 = 132. What this means is that for the position of president, there can be 12 people. After the president is chosen, only 11 people remain for the second position of VP. Since you don't have a treasurer or secretary, you leave it at that. Just 12 x 11.

Q. Can a sitting President do this? Can he pardon himself and his top people from charges not yet even laid yet? For example, could a president pardon himself and his cabinet for any charges that could ever come about for specific activities they were involved in during their time in office? Even though it ma not be viewed as an actual offense for years afterward?
