So long as you are a citizen you can bee elected to any public office if enough people vote for you.
GW Bush was arrested (twice) in college for pranks that ran afoul. It is also documented that he was arrested for DUI in Maine in the early 1980’s.
John Kerry has an arrest record from protesting the Vietnam War.
Ulysses S. Grant was arrested while in office:As President, Grant was himself an honest man. When he was arrested for speeding around Washington D.C. in a horse and buggy, he told the police officer, “Do your duty, my good man,” and eventually paid a fine.

Following is a long (perhaps not so prestigious) list of American federal politicians who had been convicted of crimes.

That said, while juvenile records are generally confidential,
unfortunately, it is probably a safe bet to assume that if you were arrested anytime in the digital age then your criminal record will almost certainly remain with you forever. To some degree or another this is true even if you ultimately seal or expunge a case (adult or juvenile). All adult arrests are matters of public record, and, even if they are subsequently removed from the public record they still remain alive and well in various private records. This is one down-side to technology. You have a better shot at the “kiddie case” remaining under the radar, but I would not count on it.
