The very reason the impeachment proviso was placed into the Constitution was to cover the notion of a President committing a crime, or abusing his power as the Executive. This was to ensure that he would not be able to with, juridical impunity, break the law as he pleased and claim his office shielded him from prosecution for illegal or treasonable acts.
So yes, the President can commit a crime, and the Founders made it clear he could be punished or removed from office for so doing. They wanted to avoid the example of monarchy, where a king was essentially exempt from any judicial action on the basis of his stature of so-called 'divine right'.
Post-Nixon, I don't know WTF this is even a question in the US any longer.

This could've been a question to ask Elizabeth Bathory - she murdered 650 young girls. She was a niece of King Stephen Bathory.

They’re human same as the rest of us. well yeah, but oftentimes it can land them within hot water because their reputation can be tarnished due to them being meant to uphold a moral standard as well.
