    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.

      So if he gets house arrest, is he required to serve in NY? What happens if he gets elected president?

      Oh, the possibilities. The stupid, stupid possibilities.
