The President answers to the justice system; much the same as any other citizen.

The President can be impeached, convicted and removed from office. The Constitution makes that entirely clear. However, the Constitution is completely and totally silent on the question of, "Can the President be indicted while in office?"

There is nothing, absolutely nothing in the Constitution that prohibits the POTUS from being subject to criminal liablility and prosecution while he occupies the Oval Office. Many people- such as yourself- think that because the POTUS can be impeached by Congress, he can't be indicted.

This is completely incorrect. Richard Nixon thought the same too; thought the justice system didn't apply to him at all and when he received advice from the White House counsel that his indictment was imminent, he resigned the office three days later.
