Question

"When the president does it, that means it is not illegal."—President Richard M. Nixon

Which of the following concepts best contradicts this quote?

Answer 1

That the president is still a civilian like everyone else that is the point of having a president. A president is one of us, thats america we elect someone just like the simple man maybe smarter.

Answer 2

That's pretty much it.

Even the President isn't above the law. As powerful as the office is, it's still subject to the same laws that bind you and me. That's a concept that goes back centuries to something such as the Magna Carta which dared to make the King of England subject to the laws of the land.
