Might be so, except there was no Declaration of War. A technicality made the Declaration unnecessary, but not having the Declaration also made all this aid and encouragement of enemies legal.

Kind of sideways to the topic, but, I don't think we should ever again send our troops into battle without a Declaration of War. We've done so under the guise of police action, humanitarian and in the most recent case under the guise of enforcing a UN resolution. I don't see the UN anywhere in our constitution. We should not pick and choose which provisions we will enforce and which ones we will not. These "extra-military" adventures pretty much all end up right where we are with Iraq. Bunch of dead heroes, politically divided and non-committal to winning. If there isn't anything to win, we shouldn't be there. Before labeling me a "cut-n-run", I am only discussing how we enter these engagements..

I have gone back and cannot find where in the Constitution it says we need a declaration of war to have treason. Please advise which section or article that is under please.
