    If you were powerful enough, sure. The court is only as strong as its ability to enforce a punishment.

    The president is exempt from criminal prosecution for things they did as part of their duties, and if no-one is willing to impeach or impose other punishments, they can be as contemptuous as they like. How would the court stop then?
