Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pushed Tuesday to create a new constitutional creature: the layaway president.
It was once common for stores to hold expensive items that you really wanted but could not make the payment.
So they were tagged and kept on the shelf until you were ready to redeem your item.
For Bragg, that leaves Donald Trump tagged until 2029.
In a filing before Manhattan Justice Juan Merchan, Bragg suggested that the court should stay the pending criminal case and defer any sentencing “until after the end of defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”
That would allow a city prosecutor to put a leash on a sitting president for four years.
