I can not remember much anymore, but the last elections I read somewhere that a major reason for him to stay in office, was the immunity it grants to him...
Actually it's more than a possibility. Yesterday the Justice have decided to maintain the pressure on Chirac. He will be prosecuted when he will stop being president.
