Subject: Re: Why didn't judge Merchan impose a fine?
OK. But fining him doesn't affect his ability to wield his Constitutional Executive power. Sure, the judge can't throw him in jail if he refuses to pay - at least not until his term is over. Which is why I suggested a fine that doesn't have to be paid until his term is over.

Again, perhaps. I don't know what the relationship is between the court and the defendant during the time when a fine has been sentenced and the date that it's due - whether the defendant is still subject to the court's jurisdiction during that interim period (for whatever reason), whether the due date can be modified, etc.
