I assume you mean "disqualifying for Mike".

Yes. I mean disqualifying in the same sense you used your "red line" about Manson.

In fact, I think you could be incarcerated and still run for POTUS as long as you're a natural born citizen over the age of 35.

I agree with your reading. My suspicion is that the framers never anticipated their Electoral College even considering a criminal to be President.** Therefore, there was no reason to put such things into the Constitution.

**Note:
After all, the whole idea of the Electoral College was to put a layer of elites between the ignorant masses and the selection of a President. The Presidency was far too important a position to allow the citizens to directly elect their President. It was in my lifetime that the name of the Presidential candidate did not appear on the ballot, only the names of the Electors.
