How robust is the legal distinction between sedition vs treason?

How critical, legally, is the DEGREE of survival being seriously at risk?

Given various actions by various Presidents over the decades . . . e.g. Lincoln, FDR et al . . . doing administrative actions not strictly Constitutional and getting away with it i.e. their actions stuck and they did not get in any legal trouble--what is the potential for THAT kind of action vis a vis military tribunals?

I'm doubtful POTUS would take THAT route but it is conceivable.

Trump can’t take that route as it would provide the perfect opportunity to impeach. He’s gotta do it strictly by the book. As it should be really.

Sedition is only a word. It is not defined of law.
