It's not about how much should he get, it's about what Congress has determined the offense level to be. You would have to look up the US sentencing guidelines for that particular offense.Well in that case, the Coup plotters and backers should get the death penalty
It would be completely illegal for Congress to try to mandate sentence minimums.
For example, a person can commit a crime without any intent at all.
Something should not be illegal at all because no harm is done to others, like the War on Drugs or Prohibition.
