Even if he were convicted, the 14th amendment clearly states that it is up to congress to pass laws to enforce the provisions. The SCOTUS would certainly interpret that to mean that it's up to congress to disqualify. And if any lower court did kick him off the ballot, the SCOTUS would grant cert just to undo that.
