Unfortunately, simply plotting to overthrow the President isn’t treason under the Constitution, one must actually take definitive steps to effect that overthrow in order for it to be treason.

Definitive steps to overthrow the government is sedition, not treason.

Treason applies to actively supporting an enemy in wartime. Most of the use of the term ‘treason’ on FR is figurative, not legal.
