Will Biden drop out? Who replaces him?

[Loren Pechtel]

It's not actually a book. Rather, the US constitution. Treason. While it rarely actually results in a death sentence it can.

§3 Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

It says nothing about trespassing in the Capitol being "treason".

Multiple high-ranking Republicans have admitted it was a coup attempt.

And note that trying to overthrow the government is "levying War against them". Even a palace coup doesn't change that.

The latter image comes much closer to Constitution's phrase "levying War against [the United States]" that the former. At least these #BLMers were heavily armed and took US territory with armed force.

How about the Branch Dildonians?

 

[Tigers!]

Because they failed. Everyone got away. The seditionists were hauled out and things continued. Think of what would have happened if they had killed Pence.

Sadly I can't help thinking that an awful lot of people would have been quite OK with that
