That should also help you answer #2, also.
To determine the correct answer for question 1, we can search for information on the case Jones v. Clinton (1997). It was a significant legal case that involved an issue of sexual harassment allegations against President Bill Clinton. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the choices provided, and the answer is not D.
For question 2, the answer can be found by understanding the legal principles surrounding presidential immunity. A. states that a president is absolutely immune from suit for executive functions, while D. suggests that a president is immune to the degree granted by Congress. To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the legal framework.
The Supreme Court has recognized a doctrine of qualified immunity for government officials, which extends to the President in certain circumstances but is not absolute. This means that government officials can be immune from legal liability for their actions in the scope of their official duties unless the violation of a constitutional right was clearly established at the time of the alleged misconduct. So, the correct answer is B, which states that a president is presumptively immune from suit for executive functions.
