    Technically, no. People have been turned away for DUI’s from decades earlier. But, as the other reply said, Trumpitler has “immunity.”

    Is commander in chief an active military position?

    Pretty sure that’s a bit of a loophole, he rides on Airforce One.

      I think it’s specifically not a military position. The president being a civilian is how in theory the military must operate under civilian control.

    Until he’s sentenced, he’s free to walk around. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 26.

    However, if he appeals, expect him to continue to walk around free until the entire appeals process is completed.

    Now a convicted felon can forget about traveling to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. They share the U.S.'s felony database.

    You can still visit 99% of the rest of the world, though. Just need to not apply for any visas or ever fill out any customs paperwork admitting to it.

    Every country that says ‘Visa not required’ or ‘Visa on demand’, should be good to go. That includes Japan.

    Now, If a country has an ‘eVisa’, ‘ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)’ or ‘Visa required’, he’d probably won’t travel to those

    Diplomatic immunity, technically felon trump isn’t stepping into the country, there is a bubble of “USA” around him.

    Physically he is there, but whatever country’s jurisdiction doesn’t apply to him. Or any diplomat for that matter. 😓

    Edit: To clarify, it doesn’t mean he has the right to enter any country. A country can still declare a person “persona non grata” and ban people from entering including head of states, although I doubt any country is gonna deny the leader of the most powerful country (in terms of military strength) from a official visit because his convicted felon status.

    Diplomatic immunity is just gonna be the excuse a country uses to bypass any law in a country that may prevent a foreigner from entering.

      That’s not how diplomatic immunity works. A nation is welcome to ban entry to any foreign national.

      Diplomatic immunity is for crimes commited within a foreign nation. It’s also worth notting that the immunity can be revoked as well by the nation that said foreign national is from, there by allowing them to be arrested and tried under the local justice system.

        How does it work when the diplomat / head of state has been sentenced by an international court for war crimes or crimes against humanity?

    This may be offtopic, but what do the third and forth flags next to the name of the creator of the post whose screenshot is being posted here mean?
