Can the American people or an individual sue the President?

[Lint Head]

There are many terrible things he has done to us.

[Warren DeMontague]

1. Didnt Paula Jones?

I thought that precedent was established, there.

[Warpy]

3. Yes, the USSC ruled that presidents were fair game when Clinton got elected

because they really thought they could get him out of office that way.

2. only for things done before he became President. He cannot be sued for things he does

when he is in the WH. That is what impeachment is for

[GP6971]

7. Yep, only before they became president.

But for this one, I'm guessing there is wealth justifiable reasons to sue.

[still_one]

8. I would think so

4. Perhaps a Writ of Mandamus

Mandamus

A (writ of) mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion. (See, e.g. Cheney v. United States Dist. Court For D.C. (03-475) 542 U.S. 367 (2004) 334 F.3d 1096.)

Rules on mandamus and similar orders vary by jurisdiction. In the federal courts, these orders most frequently appear when a party to a suit wants to appeal a judge's decision but is blocked by rules against interlocutory appeals. Instead of appealing directly, the party simply sues the judge, seeking a mandamus compelling the judge to correct his earlier mistake. Generally, this type of indirect appeal is only available if the party has no alternative means of seeking review.

6. What law has he failed to carry out?

[Buzz cook]

14. Good question

Because he has done so little.

I'd suggest that divesting himself of conflicts of interest would be a start.

Timely filling positions of administrative appointees could be another.

5. As much as we all don't like President Trump, what LAW has he violated?

[GP6971]

9. Not a law, but

Common decency.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. Can you sue anyone for violating common decency?

Somehow I doubt it.

[Lint Head]

10. Irreparable harm to the country, consorting with a murderer,

and looting the treasury.

[diva77]

11. Article I, Sections 8 & 9 of the Constitution

emoluments clause violation
committing act of war without approval of congress

2 possibilities

13. With all the bad news out there let me give you a ray of hope

when everyone else said Hillary would get in the White House, one man predicted trump. That same man
predicts trumps impeachment and apparently this year. I hope hes right.
