because military tribunals for civilian Americans

---

What about zero’s High Officials proven to be undertaking an assassination attempt against a duly elected, sitting President? Treason is where you get tried at Gitmo, now that Camp 7’s ready and Cuba is allowing a test of cellular phone service.

Yeh, guess I’m still trusting the plan......

Presidential assassins are handled in civilian court (if they make it to trial).

Garfield's assassin was convicted (and subsequently hanged) in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

The assassin of President McKinley was tried at the Superior Court Chambers in Buffalo, New York (and then executed).

John Hinckley was tried in Washington D.C.’s Federal District Court (and found not guilty by reason of insanity, i.e., schizophrenia).

Treason is also handled in civilian courts. Julius and Ethel Rosenburg were tried and convicted (and subsequently executed) in the New York Southern District federal court.
