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.

What is the definition of being arrested?
The law enforcement officer has to tell you that you are under arrest and they have to read you the Miranda Rights. If they have not told you that you are under arrest, they can simply have you "detained". If they have not told you that you are under arrest, and you are not in handcuffs, you are free to go.
When is a person under arrest?
A person is "under arrest" when a police officer charges them with a crime and chooses to take them to the police station to be processed for it. For example, if someone commits a crime, they are technically under arrest when a police officer witnesses the crime or has a warrant for the arrest and tells the criminal "You are under arrest." Typical procedure after this is to put handcuffs on the criminal and read them their Miranda rights (you have the right to remain silent etc). Handcuffs alone do not mean arrest, but i'm pretty sure its illegal for a police officer to handcuff someone without grounds to arrest them. As a side note, the person doing the arrest does not have to be a sworn in police officer. In Citizen's arrest cases, anyone with arresting powers like a bounty hunter can also place someone under arrest.
