   So #Trump is guilty? Can he run for president or is just business as usual?

     @liztai he can still run for president. There is no law preventing criminally convicted people from doing so.

     @liztai Basically aside from the rules in the constitution, nothing else disqualifies someone from running or winning. It’s bizarre. So, yes, he theoretically could win, be in jail serving his sentence, and still retain the job.
