Is it really a law if it's unenforceable?

Is it really justice when laws cannot be applied to presidents as the founding fathers argued that doing so would interfere with president's purported ability to govern - even if they commit crimes?

The USA is comically naive in assuming presidents would act honorably and would respect the law voluntarily.
