Probably not, maybe house arrest? I’m curious to see if this has an effect on the other cases, if any. Can Jack Smith easily add a 2016 election interference count now that this is proven?
He can’t pardon himself in these cases. They are New York state felonies, which means the governor of NY would have to pardon him. If they were federal, then he could maybe pardon himself.

That would probably be up to the judge. Theoretically house arrest can be set at any home which could include an out of state address.
If he cant leave his house, he cant travel to DC to be sworn in. If he cant be sworn in, he cant become president.
IIRC, the legal consensus is that while the 24th ammendment doesn’t cover a a president elect, his VP would be sworn in as President.
