IANAL, but no. Even if he is found guilty and faces hard time, he can still be President. It would take Congressional action under the 14th amendment to prevent it, but a judge could still over rule that theoretically.
It’s a messed up system we have that someone convicted of so many felonies could still be president and hold the highest security clearance in our country.
A person should not be able to be president if they’ve been convicted of a felony. I don’t mind misdemeanor convictions, especially if the served time, but felonies are a whole other level.
