Can I legally deny the President of the United States entry into my home?
<p>If the President were to show up at my home and demand entry for some reason (unlikely as that would be), do I have the right to refuse? </p>

<p>I am aware that it would be a felony to make direct threats against the President's person, but this seems to be a grey area. For instance, if they tried to force my door open, and I resisted from the other side. Again, a fantasy world but nonetheless I ask. It's still my home, and there's a trespassing intruder, but then again the President has all sorts of rights and privileges denied everyone else.</p>

<p>Yes. </p>

<p>You can deny the President entry to your home unless the President has something that constitutes an exception to that right such as a search warrant. The President does not have any special right to trespass on private property.</p>

<p>You need not threaten the President to do so. You would simply say "no, I am not granting you permission to enter. Please do not come in.", politely and in a calm voice.</p>

<p>If you were ignored, and the President entered without your consent, your best course of action would be to sue after the fact, rather than resorting to violence, even if other options might be legally available to you.</p>
