If a former President is convicted of a crime, would he or she be sent to prison? As far as I understand it, the secret service protects former presidents so Im wondering how this would work when Trump potentially goes to jail.

Question

SaltTheLoser · Answer

Lol im really interested though

SaltTheLoser · Answer

Like what if trump accidentally drops the soap

SaltTheLoser · Answer

Would the secret service intervene or let it happen

Raaraaismyname · Answer

I think he losses all his rights because he is not above the law. So- I think they'd let it happen.

Stuartbent · Answer

I think it won't happen

SaltTheLoser · Answer

Wouldnt they have to protect national secrets though?

Stuartbent · Answer

He would be let alone go free

SaltTheLoser · Answer

In my opinion, he's gonna be sitting in a comfy jail cell reserved for him

Well according to some research, The Secret Service protects Presidents and former Presidents even if they misbehave or break the law and go to jail.

Raaraaismyname · Answer

Presidents cannot be convicted of crimes while in office only if he was convicted during a impeachment trial thingy.

Raaraaismyname · Answer

So he would be protected per say. But I don't think he be would after being impeached.
