Should a President that is under Criminal Investigation...

Be allowed to sign legislation (Tax Cut for the Wealthy that they call Tax Reform) into law?

Maybe we should suggest to MoveOn.org and Trump is not Above the Law that this event merits a protest as well...

“Innocent until proven guilty”, BUT I think everything should be reversed if he is found guilty, including judicial appointments...but that is asking for too dang much.
