- rayiner 13y agoYou mean as a defendant? Nothing stops you from suing the President in his capacity as a public official. The usual remedy, though, is an injunction, but under Bivens you can seek damages (as is being done here). E.g. Rasul v. George W. Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasul_v._Bush http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasul_v._Bush).
- dvt 13y agoThe usual remedy (like 99% of the time) is the case being thrown out ;)
