DOJ policy does NOT support indicting POTUS.
If DOJ finds potential crimes by a POTUS, Congress considers what to do about it.

This is *not* a comment about what may or may not be in Mueller Report

And legally, Barr may ultimately pose a counter-argument like
I am Mueller's lawful boss; I reached a view on his findings; that in no way 'prevents' the House from doing or not doing anything
Indeed, something like that could be his 1st rebuttal in a Congressional hearing.
