To explain this from my understanding because most of the comments are silly and incorrect. It doesnt give the president complete immunity from crimes, it prevents the president from being prosecuted by other politicians while in office. So a DA of a state cant directly charge and get a conviction of a president. This actually makes sense so that no branch has control over the other branch directly. Instead the president has to get impeached and then thrown out of office before they are procesuted.
Your understanding is bad.
Wow, thats great!
