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, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

​

On January 6, 2021, Soon-To-Be Ex President, Donald Trump, instigated and encouraged an attack on the Capitol building, in Washington, D.C. which was brought about by a lie-laden hate speech, in which, the then President, told a crowd of "MAGA" supporters, including "Proud Boys", "Q-Anon", "Oath Keepers", and other racist militia/domestic terrorists, to march toward the building, which symbolizes American Democracy, and to "fight like hell" to over-throw the presidential election, in which Trump lost. One hundred-plus police offers were injured, 10 people were killed, including 5 officers, 4 of whom committed suicide due to the trauma inflicted by the rioters. 

​
