the pesident does have the authority to arrest someone. in the 80s under the reagen admin. the president was made the highest police power in the country.this does not mean that he will arrest someone, that would be like the police cheif handing out parking tickets, but he does have the authority to dictate how and where the police will use there powers.

did anyone see john mcains answer on this? he said that they dont arrest the dead and dieing. my question is how do you arest a dead person anyway
