      This is a popular line of argument but I don't think correct. There's no bar on criminals running for high office. Eugene Debs ran for president from jail. James Michael Curley ran for re-election of mayor of Boston while under federal indictment -- and won!https://twitter.com/DeanBaker13/status/1360220343009386497 …

      actually Trump could be in jail in 2024 on a wide variety of criminal charges. That will make it difficult to run

      Jim Traficant, who was a very Trumpian figure, ran for Congress from prison (after being expelled from the House). He didn't win, but considering he was running as an independent candidate, getting 15% of the vote was an impressive performance.

          If he won from prison, would they have to release him?

          Surprised you didn't go straight for the John Wilkes reference. Won three times from prison! (Also not an obscure case when the Constitution was written. Revolutionaries knew it well and at least some admired him.)
