The bottom line, no President should have to face charges in Civil court while in the performance of his duties, which is 24/7. Paula Jones waited until the last possible day before the statute of limitations ran out. No one ever said she couldn't have her day in court, but in this instance, the GOP put the needs of one woman over the needs of an entire nation who expects to have a president who can focus on the job.
As far as I'm concerned, every president should have a stable of concubines at his disposal.
Wouldn't that be the same as making him a dictator.
If you really think that should be the law, then go ahead and make that the law. But the courts ruled back in the 1960's that Presidents have to face the same stupidity of the legal system the rest of us are subject to. (JFK was sued for his part of an auto accident, and settled out of court.)
Clinton could have settled with Jones. He chose not to, maybe because he was afraid the dozens of other women he harrassed might pop out of the woodwork. His goal was to destroy the woman for daring to speak up, but he got destroyed himself. There's a rough justice in that, I think. That someone with power can't just roll over someone who has none.
