Historically you’re right but that’s not spelled out in the Constitution. Our laws allow for capital punishment for treason. The one thing your missing is that the execution requires a trial and due process per our constitution. It wouldn’t be required if you want to toss out the constitution, but there are real problems if you do that. You might be next because The One doesn’t like the name Jeremiah

If you want to toss out the rule of law for the rule of men anything becomes legal or illegal if those in power want it to be.
