INCORRECT.

The treason is created by conspirators (domestic or foreign) attacking the 'United States'.

The 'United States' includes attacks on the Constitution, (eg office of the Presidency and the Congress).

The acts must be overt and beyond mere seditious conspiracy. https://twitter.com/McAdooGordon/status/1260217682978373633
There have been multiple US citizens charged with TREASON at State & Federal level, when the US was not at war.

Proof is tricky.

You need 2 witnesses to an 'overt act' against the United States undertaken by conspirators who are 'seditious'.
Once that's proven, the group become 'enemies of the United States'.

The 'overt act' means they are enemies waging war on the US.

Also, once the seditious conspirators become 'traitors', anyone who helps them (adheres, aids them etc) are ALSO traitors.
So let's say you discuss taking down a US President with conspirators - that's a CONSPIRACY.

You then develop a plan to do it by rigging the election, by illegally spying on a Presidential campaign, targeting innocent citizens for destruction, etc.

That's SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY.
You're still not at treason yet.

Let's say you then put the plan into action. You actually DO all the things you planned.

Your attack is on the election, the transition and then the Presidency. On the Constitution itself.

It's an attack on the 'United States'.
THAT'S the TREASON.

A seditious conspirator becomes a traitor - an enemy of the US itself.

Ditto, any thugs who helped.

Say, #FakeNews goons.

Luckily, what I described is so crazy, it could never happen. Phew! What a relief.
