According to the Justice Department there are no enforcement actions they can take against a sitting president, since their own policy is that a sitting president can't be indicted.

That leaves impeachment and censure as the only enforcement actions to be taken, both of which fall under The House's constitutional authority of oversight of the Executive Branch.

Don't these cases also include legal action. I mean these are crimes. Are there no convictions? Can a convicted felon, a sex offender, hold a medical license?

Wow! It would seem to me that an easy correction, and probably a popular one with the public, would be for medical examiner boards to automatically revoke licenses for sex offenders. In fact I wonder how these boards are not subject to lawsuits brought by victims who are abused after the board became aware of the sex offender conviction.

I assume that one responsibility of these licensing boards is to protect the public.

Chances are they won't even hear about it. The "conservative" media complex doesn't report this kind of news; at least not until they can gin up enough counterfactoids to present it in a way to negate its impact.
