>>The Bill of Rights guarantees the right to trial by jury in "all criminal
prosecutions." A criminal trial jury can nullify-render an independent
verdict-by acquitting a defendant who may be factually guilty because the
jurors feel that it would be unjust, unconstitutional or simply pointless to
convict. <<

Except for the President, elected by the people, of course.  He doesn't have
the right to claim 5th or 14th Amendment rights and can be deprived of his
office without the exclusion of inadmissible evidence or without the right
to confront the persons furnishing such "evidence".
