"Trump's Legal Peril: Can He Still Become President if Convicted?"
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump, facing multiple criminal trials, can still run for president if convicted as the US Constitution does not explicitly prohibit it. Attempts to disqualify him under the 14th Amendment have been struck down by the Supreme Court, and his ability to vote in the election would be affected if convicted. If elected, Trump could potentially dismiss or pardon himself, but these actions would likely face legal challenges.
