If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, OR to destroy by force the Government of the United States....

They ONLY need to conspire to overthrow the government...that is PRECISELY what this impeachment vote is...and is what the President has said it is.
