If Obama is not a citizen (not born here and his mom was apparently not old enough to confer that distinction upon her son), how can he be charged with treason? I don’t think he can be so charged. Other crimes maybe, but not treason.
Just my take on this.
Also, unlike the guy in the video, I am opposed to the death penalty generally, not because it’s cruel and unusual and certainly not because some of these animals don’t deserve it. I oppose it because, in practice, it violates the equal protection clause. As it is today, poor people get executed for committing the same crimes for which rich or affluent people serve time.
However, I do support the death penalty for treason. That’s a no brainer.

Very few claim he isn’t a citizen. They claim he isn’t a “natural-born citizen.”

The claim that his mother wasn’t old enough to bestow citizenship is, I believe, a misapplication of the relevant law. It makes no sense to claim that age of the mother would be the determining factor in whether a person is a citizen.
