Re: To Think I Would Have Missed Such a Distinction...

I, of course, ought to have said "proven felon."

I thought being a felon was a sine qua non for being President. I seriously doubt if there has been a President this century who hasn't committed some sort of felony.

Let me cop a plea: downgrade to "gross misdemeanor or worse" and I'll plead nolo contendre (the Latin phrase made famous by the only Greek Vice President... and I have "controlling ethnic authority" to mention that). :-)

Frankly, there are probably very few Americans who have not violated some gross misdemeanor, or worse. It was not always so, and it is less a commentary on the virtue of Americans than it is on the vice of American legislating...

... but I digress.
