What does it mean to "overthrow the government"?

Is framing the president for a crime "overthrowing the government"?
In terms of the law.

Answer the question if you can. It seems like overthrowing the government requires more than tricking people into thinking they should get a new president.

Although I don’t really understand your question or what you’re getting at.. the President was elected by the people, so at the very least, it’s undermining the will of the American people.
I think you might need to reframe your question because it doesn’t make any sense.

Question makes perfect sense. People on this board say that certain people are guilty of treason for plotting to overthrow the government. There is a statute on treason. Talks about overthrowing the government. I'm asking if people here really understanding the legal definition of trying to overthrow the government. Question was fine.

Only to you. Proven by the amount of responses you received.

Yeah that proves everything. Do you think what they did to Trump about Russia and FISA and all constitutes trying to overthrow the government?

The founders knew the desire for continued revolution and change would persevere, which is why they designed a “controlled” revolution every 4 years. The peaceful transition of power is what makes our country unique. It is somewhat of a “peaceful, lawful overthrow”.
Trying to circumvent that natural process by making shite up essentially is a coup. You can’t fricking wait for the next scheduled “coup”, you want your own. This is treason.
Probably not the legal explanation you’re looking for but that’s the practical one.

The method used to remove a lawfully elected president is not the issue.
It's the attempt that matters.

Yes and despite your lies your party has repeatedly called for overthrowing the founding principals of the United States.

A sitting president weaponizing the federal government and intelligence agencies against opposing political parties, private citizens, And opposing candidates in an effort to subvert the free election process is treason and everyone involved should be tried in a court of law. What Obama’s agencies did to the tea party and then trump is disgustingly absurd And the fact that it went unpunished is a blemish on America.
I don’t know if what the media is doing in general is treason but it’s definitely not right.
Same goes for Brazille and cnn during the Clinton/Trump debates.
Facebook and Twitter should absolutely lose all of their platform vs publisher protection but I don’t even know where the line is anymore based on current society.

Would a branch of government using unscrupulous information or methods to circumvent the checks and balances of law as defined I the Constitution be considered "overthrowing the government"?

Nah, not me. I'm an originalist and conservative. And I really hope all the Comeys and the Brennans and Stzroks get in trouble. I just think overthrowing the government is more like abolishing congress, because I'm not a fricking moron.

You’re a fricking moron because you don’t recognize that there are three branches of government, judicial, legislative, and executive. When you attempt a coup against the executive branch, violating not only the Constitution but established law all along the way, you are most certainly trying to overthrow the government. I would be perfectly fine with all the actors being brought up on sedition charges.

It was a frame up Of the president. It was bad. It was a political crime.
It wasn't treason.

Maybe you need one. A coup doesn’t have to be violent. The attempted removal of a freely and fairly elected president by illegal, unconstitutional, and fraudulent means, is by definition a coup attempt, and treason.

There would still be a president and the entire governmental system would be intact. One person would be displaced, and those who caused him to be displaced would not have seized power.
I'm talking to a bunch of dumbasses.
Good night!

And if you can manufacture an illegal and unconstitutional coup against the president, what’s to stop you from doing it against the VP?
