Not for making war on the US. He was an illegal combatant.”

And as an illegal, and an enemy combatant, could he be sent to Gitmo & be hauled before a military tribunal ?

I think he could be tried for treason for abetting our enemies. Gitmo was full of 'unlawful' combatants IAW the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC).

Unlawful Combatants. Unlawful combatants are individuals who directly participate in hostilities without being authorized by governmental authority or under international law to do so. For example, bandits who rob and plunder and civilians who attack a downed airman are unlawful combatants. Unlawful combatants who engage in hostilities violate LOAC and become lawful targets. They may be killed or wounded and, if captured, may be tried as war criminals for their LOAC violations.

LOAC

So 0 qualifies if he is an illegal alien or he can go down for treason based on his actions as Prez. Note: not a lawyer. (but the tribunals would go faster if I was in charge)

Please, Dear Lord, let it be so.
