WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) A petition on the White Houses web site calling for charges to be filed against 47 Republican senators who sent a letter to Irans leaders has garnered more than double the signatures it needs to draw a White House response.
The petition, on whitehouse.gov, was filed Monday and had 214,178 signatures as of mid-Thursday morning. To require a response from the White House, petitioners must secure 100,000 signatures within 30 days.
Some Republicans admit they were caught off guard by the backlash to the letter, which warned Iranian leaders against a nuclear agreement with President Barack Obama. Politico reported Sen. John McCain of Arizona, one of the signers of the letter, said Republicans should have given it closer consideration.

Signing a nuclear deal with the Iranians that essentially legitimizes their every nuclear goal is the treason none dare name.
The letter the Senators sent is correct in application as well as result. The rest of this is just dirty politics and an ignorant echo chamber.
Someone should get up a treaty on Obama & Kerry treason. Much more applicable.
Ad my name and make it 48!
Maybe this petition will give obama the impetus to dissolve the senate and usher in the new galactic empire....
Wait, Wut?
This will be fun.
I hope this story gets a lot more attention. Maybe some people will wake up and notice - Barry is about to let Iran go Nuke!
World Diplomacy for Dummies. Get a psychotic Muslim regime that’s financing and fomenting terror around the world to sign a letter saying they’ll be nice from now on. Brilliant!
"What'd I do?"
I’m been trying to get the cowards to ad my name on twitter and make it #150MillionTraitors but they won’t.
Democrats, all the bloodlust of the nazis without any of the stones to carry out their acts.
ESPECIALLY when their witless leader has dozens...hundreds of reasons to try him for treason.
Bet I could get 200,000 patriots to sign a petition to try the “One who walks behind the rows” for treason.
I bet it would be utterly and entirely ignored by the Socialist Traitors with D's behind their names.
...just like they ignored us when we had a massive outcry against Obamacare before it was spawned.
Perhaps we should start our own petition to throw King Obozo and the rest of his Administration out of office.
Apparently, quoting from our Constitution can now get you labeled “Traitor” by the “low information” (read: Obama voters) segment of the American population
U.S. Constitution
Article II Section 2 -
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein other- wise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Actually the list should be turned in to a Black List of who not to HIRE or do business with EVER!
Constitutional remedial classes for everyone on the list.
Also, the Iranians may not have been aware of those things either.
How many Americans would sign a petition demanding Obama’s immediate removal from office?
Hint: Not 200,000. More like 100,000,000.
I’ve had a blast the past two days poke them in the eye and demanding that they march on DC and insist that all 47 members of the senate be summarily executed.
Do it! Do it now! Don’t be a pussy!
The reactions are priceless.

OMG. He has to make a statement? I can’t think of a worse place to be for him if this is true.
He can do the two step shuffle and try to straddle both sides or maybe more than two, but he’s up a creek on this one.
Sultan Knish - That is a GREAT site. Just added it to my favorites
Amazing how many “experts” on the Logan Act have just come out of the woodwork.
