Yes, the president can be arrested. Although it doesn't happen the same as ordinary folk. He can still be brought to trial, etc. but proceedings will be different due to the nature of the defendant. You definitely will never see the president locked up in a holding cell in a precinct.

Yes. They are not above the law.

My understanding is that while a person is the President of the United States they can NOT be arrested for anything. But once they are out of office for any reason they can be held fully accountable for any broken law as if they had never been President.

Generally speaking, no, in the U.S. The president is not above the law and if he commits a crime, he can be tried.
