will someone please clarify for me exactly what the Constitution defines as, "Treason." At what point are citizenships revoked and charges brought? This place called America s/b viewed as a priviledge...I say revoke his citizenship and let him stay in Iraq or France or Palestine.

The Constitution says in Article III, Section 3, clause 1 that

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

Attempting – in open Court – to attach oneself to explicitly aid a deposed tyrant and enemy of the United States, an individual who is responsible not only for the torture and murder of his own citizens, but the deaths of American soldiers is pretty bad, but it is probably not treason.

They should put on a deserted island somewhere. Preferably an atol used for nuclear testing. Both of them
