It would be considered seditious intent. It is not something an elected official need fear. Biblical in tone, the "he who is without sin, cast the first stone" argument would come into play.

Should charges of sedition be filed against a high ranking official, elected or appointed, be made, it would cause a domino effect that would leave our country and government in shambles.

The oath of office is fealty to the Constitution of the United States and the people it so serves. When a official puts political party ahead of the Constitution , they'd best show via the Constitution that they are not committing sedition.

I respect your opinion but I totally disagree. If you take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and you then deliberately try to undermine the Bill of Rights I would say the person or persons doing that are traitors and have perjured themselves. Proving that in a court of law might be difficult but that doesn't change things. Your point is taken and rejected...
Here is an example...

For instance plotting to take away gun rights and claiming to protect and defend the Second Amendment is obviously a violation of the Oath of Office. Not only that but our Nation is in shambles because of this reason... The only order we will have in it's place will be the New World Order and what ever is left of the Republic will be destroyed. Speaking for myself any individual or political entity that wants to do that can go and _______________. Fill in your own words here.

There is too much double talk... I know the people that wrote the Constitution and framed the Bill of Rights would never put up with the B.S. that the average politician and citizen would put up with today. That's just the way I see it... I firmly believe that is the way it is.

We're on the same page, just for different reasons. Let's focus on second amendment rights. Congress will not try to violate it because their corporate sponsors want us at each other's throats. You and I support the second amendment, though you're a conservative and I'm a progressive. Maybe not 100% for the same reasons, but we're close enough. The powers that be, ie: Corporate America, want us at odds with each other enough that we don't go after them. Congress isn't going to do it.

Executive order? That would get overturned by SCOTUS so fast that the knk wouldn't have a chance to dry. Okay, exaggerating. But still same end result.

Martial law? That would call for armed insurection. The Trump protestors that actually rioted were insufficient to call for martial law. The president could not declare it outright. First step is the state's governor declared it. With the amount of gang wars and gun violence j Chicago, the Illinois governor could do so, but not Obama. Obama could attempt it, but Congress has to approve each measure, then must still get permission from the states it would send troops into. Say this occurred Thursday, there is no provision in the Constitution to extend term limits on an elected official, much less, through martial law. Friday, citizen Donald Trump would become President Trump, the leader of a nation that would be, in whole or in part, under martial law. Not a great beginning.

Gun control? The NRA forgot their support of that years ago. Even with two classes of Americans not granted 2nd amendment rights, per a conservative SCOTUS, felons and mentally challenged. I'm not saying the subject should be dropped. We forget about it, and the worst that could happen would. I may think Ted Nugent's is an asshole, but he's hot the right idea about 2nd amendment rights. He just acts like one of the two classes that aren't afforded it. ;)

I've heard for the last 8 years Obama was going to take our guns. But it's almost like he isn't even trying. Every gun confiscated during his term was due to a violation of some law.

Meanwhile, one thing Conservatives consistently point out is the number of gun deaths in Chicago, in violation of a SCOTUS decree, because Chicago has the toughest laws. That's where the treason lies. Obama can't go in there and do anything, but the Governor of Illinois could, but chooses to do nothing. Where's the. NRA on this?
