Bayford said that the president could proceed with his case but he warned him that by doing so, he would be overturning the protection from litigation he gets from the constitution. The constitution protects the president from prosecution during his term in office and without it, he is no longer immune from any counter-litigation, were he to proceed with suing the paper.
