Actually, it's happened! To President Grant, for speeding in his horse-drawn carriage. It's a great story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2018/12/16/po

  It does seem to indicate that the President was able to escape prosecution, though: > The judge imposed “heavy fines” and a “scathing rebuke” to the speeding drivers, who didn’t include the president. He didn’t show up for court. (I had no idea speeding laws predated cars - and speedometers! - incidentally.)
