If the brokerâs equity requirement is 25 percent, the customer must maintain $15,000 in equity in the account. If the customer has an outstanding margin loan against the securities of $50,000, his equity will be $10,000 ($60,000 - $50,000 = $10,000).
James D. St. Clair argued in his Supreme Court brief on President Nixon's behalf that this language demonstrated the Framers' intent that any prosecution would follow impeachment and removal from office and that, consequently, a President could not be prosecuted while in office.
There is even a belief that during war time the president can be shot on the spot for committing treason against America but only during war time. There is another thought that the president is immune from arrest and prosecution as long as he is in office. All the confusion is understandable because the Constitution is vague in this area. It states that the president can be impeached for committing certain crimes but that is all it says.
