DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – The Iowa Secretary of State’s Office says a felony conviction won’t impact whether Donald Trump’s name appears on Iowa ballots. Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex. Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for President and won Iowa’s Republican Caucuses in January.

Iowa law bars felons from holding office or appearing on a ballot. However, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office said that only applies to state office, not federal offices. A spokesman said the U.S. Constitution sets the requirements to run for federal offices and do not include any ban on convicted felons.

That’s despite a bill Iowa Republicans passed out of the Iowa House this past session, HF 2610, that would have specifically stated that and limited challenges to candidates appearing on the ballot. Iowa Secretary of State spokesperson Ashley Hunt said “The states do not have jurisdiction to identify additional requirements for federal candidates.The bill in question simply clarified that, ensuring Iowa law is in compliance with federal law.”

The Iowa House passed the bill just a day after the U.S., Supreme Court struck down a Colorado ruling that would have removed Trump’s name from the ballot. Iowa’s Secretary of State’s Office echoed that Supreme Court decision, which found states do not have jurisdiction to determine eligibility for federal office.

While the Iowa House passed HF 2610, the Iowa Senate never took up the bill during the last session.
