The statute criminalizing the mishandling of classified documents includes in its punishment a bar to running for federal office. If Trump is convicted in the documents case, the law will forbid him from running for president. One caveat: to my knowledge the statute has not been tested in the courts on constitutional grounds, so the Roberts Court will no doubt take the case.
