If the president-elect were convicted of a felony then they become ineligible to take office and the VP elect takes as president - according to the 20th Amendment, section 3.
Prediction: If Obama likes Hillary's VP choice better than he does Hillary, then she gets indicted on Nov 9th and convicted before Jan 20th. Hillary had better choose carefully. Just remember that you heard it here first :)

Actually, a felony conviction would not make someone ineligible to be POTUS.
-
Actually, the key date for this scenario is December 19. That's the date on which the electors meet to officially vote for President and Vice President.
The DNC could instruct their electors to vote for other than Hillary for POTUS up until that date.

There is such bad blood between the Obamas and Clintons that I don't think that Obama would just hand the White House back to the Clintons. I think Obama would rather a Republcan get the White House knowing they can't really get much done anyway because of the constant in fighting than to let the Clintons get it back. I could be wrong.

If that is true, then maybe when the FBI recommends indictment to the DOJ, Obama will have the DOJ follow through.

It's possible. I think he would have some big media spin on it saying that because of the overwhelming evidence he can't sit by and let this happen, she needs to step aside from the race (enter Joe Biden, maybe?), etc. He'd have to I would think, because there's not a "smidge of corruption" in his administration.
