When you openly try to stop an election (not some secret spy “treason”), it should 100% apply. Just like former slaves didn’t need to go to court to be freed. The 13th Amendment (and the Emancipation Proclamation) just freed them.

And making us all his subjects. I wouldn’t even put it past him to disband congress and scotus
