    If he had been fined, do you think he’d actually pay it? And what then? You can’t stick him in jail to make him pay it.

    I think this was the real reason behind the decision. Any governmental punishment is ultimately backed by a threat of jail/prison for non-compliance, but if you can’t do that to the president, then he can just ignore it anyway.
