      I believe the law prohibits felons from holding public office , except for the positions of potus and vpotus as the constitution governs those

      This was obviously not what was intended,.as it was assumed that a felon, whole able to run, would never be voted in. How little the founding fathers knew…

        In Russia, Navalny was falsely declared the equivalent of a felon by Putin’s corrupt judge. Preventing Navalny from running against Putin. Not having any formal requirement for President is absolutely the democratically correct choice. It is just that US voters are idiots.
