You are taking a very extreme example, and we wouldn't need a new Congressional act to stop threats on the pResident. It is already something that is taken very seriously. The word force covers a LOT more than death threats to public officials and you know it.
Why don't we look at my earlier example, would it be an act of physical force for a black to sit in a whites only restaurant and refuse to leave? Yes I know I am using an example from a time long ago, but the point is that many of the most respected civil rights leaders in our nations history could have been accused of using force.
