“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”

Like helping paying for a completely bogus GPS Fusion report in conjunction with Hillary Clinton to take down Trump? Boom!

That would, likely, not qualify. Treason is the only crime described in the Constitution. It has a very high bar, and, essentially absent an actual declaration of war, or - in the words of the Supreme Court - an “assemblage of men” nothing qualifies.
