It would be hard to get a conviction, and it would be terrible precedent (even if the asshole Democrats did it) to go after a former President.

At Obama's level, it is all policy directives, not direct actions. I am fairly sure he's smart enough not to leave evidence of a direction to commit a crime.

The precedent basically already exists thanks to Aaron Burr. He was the Vice President at one point, but he betrayed the nation and tried to steal Texas, then was outlawed here and fled to Europe.

How did he plan on bringing TX with him to Europe? There'd be an extra baggage charge on the plane for that!

Lets be realistic. This happened 100 years before planes were invented.
