Why would that happen? What section of law allows for such a thing?
So is this possible

Those that cheated get hung for treason and the winner gets reinstated. Or a new election altogether after those guilty of stealing the election in a coup get hung. The law is not to be used as a tool to enable a crime.

So if Trump, and his various supporters, are lying about the election results, then they should all be executed, yes?

Last I heard the only proven cheating in the 2020 presidential election was by a handful of Trump supporters. Not sure what their punishment was, but I doubt they were hung.

No, no, no. The treason in question wasn't tampering with the counts, it was letting the wrong kinds of poors vote in the first place.

Now you're just being silly. There was no crime, Trump just lost. We didn't pick him. Where the hell do you get off saying the person the voters didn't choose should be president? You're the one betraying your nation. You're the one talking about committing crimes. You're trying to steal our election.

Fraud is just code speak for "people of color voted". Only, I kind of think in their heads, they don't phrase it that way.

So absolutely nothing is going to happen - good to know. Nobody cheated, nobody gets hanged, and Biden remains the duly-elected president for whatever that is worth.
New presidential elections will happen in just over three years, that's for certain. Try getting your "revenge" then.
The "The rules of Monopoly are not to be used as a tool to enable someone else besides me to win at Monopoly." See how dumb that sounds? That's what you are saying here.
The law may be an ass, but it IS the law. If people obey the law, their actions are not a crime. If the outcome of someone's actions is stupid or unacceptable, change the law, but don't punish the people who followed the law. Even if they are hung.

If we are hanging for treason, will trump still be president once he is hanged along side the Jan 6 attackers for inciting and encouraging treason?

Trumps reinstatement will occur in x - with x defined as the month subsequent to whatever the current month happens to be.

Trump can never be reinstated, because half the time before his reinstatement must pass before he is reinstated, however short the time till his reinstatement; therefore, at any time before his reinstatement, there is always more time to pass before he can be reinstated.

Trump should hire that contractor from The Money Pit to run his reinstatement bid. "Two weeks!"

Excellent! So how many Trumpettes will be hanged (note that this is the correct form) and when will Biden be (unnecessarily) reconfirmed as the winner of the 2020 election?

Technically it would depend on if they were alive before being.....elevated."...hanged..."
I don't think we really need to know the answer to that one.
