Can the president eavesdrop on private citizens without a judge's ok?

If you collaborate with terrorists, then you are no longer considered a "United States person". You are considered an "Agent of a foreign power", as defined under Section 1801, subsection(b)(2)(C).

This isn't true. A U.S person is still a U.S. person even if he's an agent of a foreign power. In fact, 1801(b)(2) specifically does *not* exclude U.S. persons. Regardless, FISA still requires a judge's ok even if the agent of a foreign power isn't a U.S. person.
