RE :”A Florida man running for a seat in the state legislature is standing behind a Tweet where he wrote ‘It's time to arrest the President and ‘hang him high.’

Entertaining but if he was running for federal office I would hope he would know that its not legal to arrest a sitting POTUS, nor is it practical.

Oh dear me, perish the thought! (clutching pearls...)

But it was very practical to take out Mrs. Fuddy, the SEAL Team 6 operators and a number of others.

Indeed. First he must be removed from office via the impeachment process. From Article I, Section 3:

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside; And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgement in Cases of Impreachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgement and Punishment, according to Law.

Methinks the Founders wanted to reserve the power of capital punishment to the courts in order to avoid a Charles I situation on this side of the pond.
