Apparently not.
From The Guardian
Quote:The conviction will not affect Trump’s legal ability to run for president. The constitution does not bar felons from running for office. Whether he could serve as president from prison is untested. He would not be able to pardon himself from any conviction, since it is a state crime.
I've read elsewhere that only the Governor of NY could pardon him... but I don't have the legal details for you.
