So much for the rule of law?
This might actually be good for the party if the GOP comes up with a realistic candidate. It would be quite easy to defeat Biden at this point with any one who seems reasonable.

Does the law state someone can't be President if they have been convicted of a crime?

I'm not too sure of that....
It's easy to underestimate the lawfulness -- law respecting people -- in America, but I think there's some that are swing voters....

Trump's New York felony conviction can't keep him from becoming president
The Constitution says nothing about criminal history in its very few qualifications for being president.
www.cbsnews.com
Former President Trump's New York felony conviction Thursday on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a "hush money" payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels can't stop him from becoming president if the voters put him back in office, legal scholars seem to agree.
The Constitution imposes very few prerequisites for the presidency — a candidate must be at least 35 years of age, natural-born citizens and a U.S. resident for a minimum of 14 years. It says nothing about the impact of a felony conviction on a president's ability to serve.
"The short answer is yes, that there's no constitutional bar," said Corey Brettschneider, a lawyer and professor of political science at Brown University and author of "The Presidents and the People." "The Constitution lays out some specific requirements of what's required … but there's nothing explicitly in the Constitution about being convicted of a crime as a disqualification."
"There's a wide understanding that the qualifications listed in the Constitution are exclusive — that is, we can't add to those qualifications," said Derek Muller, an election law professor at the University of Notre Dame. He added, "Whether or not you've been convicted of a felony is immaterial for qualification purposes."
