The U.S. Constitution does not prevent convicted felons from holding the office of the President or a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives. Individuals who have been convicted of sedition, seditious conspiracy, treason, conspiracy to defraud the United States or selling information on national defense may not run for federal office. Cities and States may prevent convicted felons from holding statewide and local offices.

Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office, and it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime, as well as disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime during the investigation.
