A President Governing from Behind Bars

 If Donald Trump should be elected president while serving time how will he be inaugurated? Will he be given a two-day pass so he can fly to Washington D.C. to take his oath before hurrying back to his cell. Or will Chief Justice Roberts hold the ceremony in the prison’s visitation room?

Will Mr. Trump draft his self-pardon on prison stationery or have his defense lawyer draw it up?Will the president’s Secret Service unit be housed together with him or be stationed in the adjoining cell?Tensions with Russia and China seem of little moment compared with these jaw dropping procedural issues.
