Washington: Donald Trump is now a felon.
Here's what that means for the rights of the former US president -- the first ever convicted of a crime -- as he seeks to recapture the White House in November:
Presidential bid - Trump is expected to receive the Republican presidential nomination at the party's convention in Milwaukee, which is to begin just four days after his July 11 sentencing in New York for his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
The Constitution only requires that a president be a natural-born US citizen, be at least 35 years old and have been a resident of the country for 14 years.
Even if the 77-year-old Trump was sentenced to prison -- considered unlikely for the first-time offender -- he would be eligible to serve as president.
