And even though bribery is one of the few enumerated “high crimes and misdemeanors” eligible for impeachment, apparently you could no longer prosecute him for it even if removed from office??
occurs to me that bribing the president is now /always/ legal, since in every case the only way to distinguish gratuity from bribe is via evidence that could never be admissible
