The President of the United States cannot be criminally indicted while in office due to a legal interpretation of the Constitution and Department of Justice guidelines, which suggest that a sitting president should not face criminal prosecution to avoid disrupting the executive branch's functioning. This principle is rooted in the belief that the president needs to perform their duties without the distraction of criminal proceedings. However, this does not grant immunity from prosecution after leaving office.
