Impeachmen' 2: Electoral Boogaloo

Armed insurrection does not fall under it unless it is in some sort of conjunction or conspiracy with enemies of the United States.

You can read the case law from Marshall that pretty much defined it. People were conspiring to overthrow the government but they did not actually attempt it. That’s why they weren’t guilty of treason. Not because no enemies were involved. The constitution specifically says levying war as one way and adhering to enemies as a second way.
“History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure.”-Thurgood Marshall
