Bloomberg: Trump's Nov. 26 hush money sentencing in NY called off without explanation

[eppur_se_muova]

8. Does NY law explicitly state that someone who is elected to office cannot be sentenced ?

If not, there is no excuse for postponing the sentencing. Send tsf to jail within 72 hrs of sentencing; he's had more delay then anyone could possibly deserve. Leave it up to the electors (Oh! The irony!) to decide if they want to cast their votes for someone serving a prison sentence, who can't even appear on the steps of the Capitol to be sworn into office without his parole officer's permission, which should not be granted -- let the Chief Justice and GOP leadership inaugurate him in his cell, or in the visitation room behind bulletproof glass, with plenty of photogs present. Even if they do swear him in, NY should not be obligated to release a criminal who has not yet served his sentence, nor even grant him any exceptions to rules governing visiting hours or phone calls. Buying or stealing an election should not, under any circumstances, be a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

Interesting tidbit:

“And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, the Vice President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.”
