Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?

yes, felons can campaign for president and be elected. technically it's even legal for the president to be locked behind bars while serving.

The sad part is that despite being a convicted felon he will most likely never see the inside of a jail cell.

I wonder if the secret service would need to be locked in the cell with him.
