The only requirements for presidency of the U.S.:
- Being a natural born citizen of the U.S.
- Being at least 35 years of age.
- Being a permanent resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years.
Article I of the U.S. Constitution gives the Senate the power to disqualify persons who have been impeached from holding federal office. However, there is no mention of the simple state of being a "felon" disqualifying a person from being elected President.
Apparently there are examples of felons that have run for president. One I found quickly was Lyndon Larouche.

Article 2 Section 1 outlines the requirements for president, they are as above. There is no prohibition from a felon running for or holding the office. Link below.
