Can Donald Trump still become president if he's convicted of a crime or found liable in a civil case?
CBS News reports: "The short answer, from a legal perspective, is yes, according to experts."

Sure.
The Electoral College has very few constraints on who they can choose for president. Being convicted of a civil crime is definitely not in the list of disqualifiers.
PS: I truly believe that we would elect better people to serve in government if we all knew the rules better, if we had more education in civics.
It's always sad to me to see, every four years, people simultaneously eager to vote and also asking for a reminder on how we elect presidents.
It's a dangerous game to play if it's full of people who don't know the rules.

its interesting watching people realize what the "rules" of society actually are. turns out its usually not what we actually want.
