He could run and be elected president in prison though so a conviction and jail doesn't really accomplish more than a conviction and some other non-jail sentence would. Jail or not a conviction shows that a president isn't above the law and will be a deterrent to rational presidential candidates not named Trump.

But I don't totally disagree with you.

What if the sentencing included an agreement to never run for public office again? That's the actual consequence that I'd want.
