It is clear that he is getting impeached.  The only question now is...will the R's even have anyone to run?

If he's impeachment it doesn't mean he can't run for office next year. Even if the Senate convicts, they would have to have a separate measure to bar him from public office. So he could conceivably be convicted, removed, and run for reelection in 2020.

What if SDNY indicts after he is removed from office? Would that affect things?

I think Trump's ego would get in the way, but if he does get convicted in the Senate, I'd really hope he'd step aside... probably a long shot...

After a little research there is no language barring a felon from running for President

Looks like you are correct. It's crazy that you can take a person's rights away for a federal felony, but they could still hold public office. That seems like a major oversight.
