Best Answer

Impeachment and conviction would only remove the President from office. However, after he is a private citizen, he would be subject to indictment, trial and possible conviction just like anybody else.

The president is removed from office if they are impeached and then found guilty. After that many things can happen. They might get a presidential pardon like Nixon, or they might serve jail time depending on what they did.


Article 3 section 20?

In the Philippine Constitution, the Bill of Rights outlines the rights that people have. The section you asked about says: No person shall be imprisoned for debt or non-payment of a poll tax. That means you cannot be sent to jail for owing money, or for not paying a poll tax. Poll taxes were taxes that you paid in order to be able to vote.

Yes, although no President has ever been sent to jail. They would have to be impeached first, then tried and convicted. This has never occurred, but Richard Nixon would probably have been indicted and so accepted a Presidential pardon from Ford for any offenses while President.

Can the president be under arrest?

No person is above the law. However, the process by which an elected official is tried is substantially different but just as effective. He or she is first charged--this is called impeachment and is somewhat like an arrest. The second phase is the trial phase--this is called conviction. I suppose that an elected official could be remanded to custody upon impeachment if the charge were serious enough, but he or she would still be entitled to a trial. Only two Presidents have been impeached (i.e. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton). However, no President has ever been sent to jail because no President has ever been convicted of a crime. Richard Nixon was not impeached; he resigned his office.
