[Riders]

You beat me to it.Tru.p is appealing. He may go to jail wow.

 

[Revoltingest]

Beat me, again!

Well, if you insist.
Oh, you mean I was first on the convictions.

 

[Riders]

Beat me, again!
Whoops hoo
Yeppers. Guilty on all 34 counts. Good!

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Wow! All 34 counts!

No question there'll be appeal, there's too many firsts here, but that's now beside the point! Everything is going to change from this moment forward.

I meant I'm too slow. Dang little tiny "smart" phone. Almost wrecked my bike, too. Not because of you, however.

 

[Revoltingest]

Wow! All 34 counts!

This could be the beginning of Presidents
no longer being entirely above the law.

Does this carry any potential to forbid him from running in the election? I can't find any definitive answers to that question.

I hope. Fingers crossed.

It doesn't appear to.

Trump is going to meltdown the moment he's in front of cameras. Can't want to watch the theater.

 

[Viker]

Does this carry any potential to forbid him from running in the election? I can't find any definitive answers to that question.

No. He could still run.

 

[Debater Slayer]

It doesn't appear to.

How would he run the country if he were serving a sentence for this?

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Does this carry any potential to forbid him from running in the election? I can't find any definitive answers to that question.

I don't believe so -- the Constitution is silent, having only 3 requirements for eligibility to run.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Does this carry any potential to forbid him from running in the election? I can't find any definitive answers to that question.

Nope. He can even go to prison and still be president.

 

[Viker]

How would he run the country if he were serving a sentence for this?

Never been done. More than likely he'll get probation. He's probably already firing up to appeal the verdict.

 

[Revoltingest]

How would he run the country if he were serving a sentence for this?

Good question.
I don't have an answer.
Note though that he's not been sentenced.
He might get probation, eh.

 

[Debater Slayer]

Nope. He can even go to prison and still be president.

How would he govern from there or meet any other heads of state?

Maybe a Zoom presidency would become a thing.

So now comes the speculation of the sentence. Will it be jail time, or just a fine? Home confinement is possible.

If he is sentenced to jail, and is remanded immediately, he will have to appeal from prison like other convicted felons.
