I was just thinking could the president be charged with war crimes and sent to the world war tribunal thank you for your time

As far as I know, there isn't a world war tribunal. The last kind was the Nuremburg Tribunal, that was set up for a specific purpose and then disbanded when completed. The precident is there for one to be created, though.

As long as we still have a Constitutional government, I would prefer that the guilty be tried by our own legal system. We should all be wary of international extra-legal systems that can interfere with the sovereignty of your nation.

The UN Security Council has the authority to establish an ad hoc war crimes tribunal, as they did, for example, for the former Yugoslavia. (c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Tribunal_for_the_Former_Yug oslavia).

I'd assume it would require a unanimous vote of the Security Council, which seems unlikely in this case, since Bush lap-dog John Bolton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_R._Bolton) would cast the U.S. vote.
