The President of the United States can be a criminal if they engage in illegal activities while in office. However, the President has certain immunities and privileges while in office, such as immunity from most criminal prosecutions. If the President commits serious crimes, such as treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, they can be impeached by Congress. If impeached and convicted by a two-thirds majority in the Senate, the President can be removed from office and may also face criminal charges after leaving office.
