No, such is not possible. If the president committed a crime, he would be impeached and convicted and lose his office. Then he would not be president anymore and could not pardon anybody. He could then be indicted and tried just like anyone else.

If a hypothetical Vice President assassinates the President and pardons himself what would happen legally?
As the majority consensus is that a President can pardon himself, he could theoretically get away with it. However, he would have to pardon himself before an impeachment. Given that, it's a bit silly, as it would be easier for the VP to simply have someone else do it, then pardon the someone else. Of course, what could be done once could be done twice. So it's unlikely that even an evil VP would wish to set that precedent, or it would be round after round of murder and pardon.

Of course. It is only the office of president that is limited and that is only the elected term.

However, the elected President could decide not to resign and if you had such a popular president, then the constitution could be more easily amended.
