The Constitution says that in cases of impeachment, "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." It does not except the president. But what impeachable offenses aren't covered by the new doctrine of immunity?

Private acts of criminality.

In general, these fall outside "high crimes and misdemeanors," i.e. they're probably not impeachable.

High crimes and misdemeanors is whatever the House says it is. Do you believe that Clinton's impeachment for lying under oath was an official act?
