The Constitution lays out age, citizenship and residency rules to run for president. A criminal indictment would not legally prevent former President Donald Trump from running in 2024.
Former President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022, in Orlando, Fla. The U.S. Constitution says presidential candidates must be citizens and residents of the United States for at least 14 years and at least 35 years old. It does not state that a criminal indictment or conviction prevents someone from running for president.
Some state laws and constitutions bar felons from running for office, but that’s for state or local offices only.
