One of the group said he was "going to shoot Obama", who is in Denver, Colorado, for the Democratic National Convention, "from a high vantage point using a rifle sighted at 750 yards".
Police said that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative".
The shooting was planned for Thursday, when Mr Obama is set to accept the nomination as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate for the November election at the 75,000-seat Invesco stadium.
Tharin Gartrell, 28, who was wanted on numerous warrants, was arrested on Sunday after police found two high-powered rifles, boxes of ammunition, a rifle scope, a bullet-proof vest, walkie-talkies and methamphetamine in a rented truck he was driving.
