La Constitució dels EUA no impedeix que els delinqüents condemnats ocupin el càrrec de president o un escó al Senat o a la Cambra de Representants. Els individus que hagin estat condemnats per sedició, conspiració sediciosa, traïció, conspiració per estafar als Estats Units o per vendre informació sobre defensa nacional no poden presentar-se a un càrrec federal. Les ciutats i els estats poden impedir que els delinqüents condemnats ocupin càrrecs locals i estatals.
