Reaffirming Equal Justice: Accountability for Presidents and Vice Presidents.

This proposed Constitutional amendment formally confirms that no person, including the President and Vice President, is above the law and is accountable for both official and unofficial actions. For citizens, this strengthens the principle of equal justice and ensures that the highest government officials can be prosecuted like any other individual. The amendment also grants Congress the power to pause the statute of limitations for crimes committed by an incumbent President during their term.

Confirms that the President and Vice President are subject to criminal accountability for all their actions, just like any other citizen.
