"The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them,...

It however leaves undefined the definition of "war". I suggest that Obama is at war with the United States and everything that it stands for. You don't have to drop bombs to declare war. You can do it by attacking it's institutions from within and that is exactly what he is doing with his "policies". Who needs armys and bombs when you you can just get elected and then go about undermining the foundations of the country. That is war in my mind.

“War” must be declared to invoke treason and there must be at least two witnesses to the specific act of treason. Only Congress can determine the punishment for treason.
“Policies” that you disagree with are not acts of treason. That’s why we have elections if enough citizens disagree with a president’s policies, you fire that president and hire someone to undo the bad policy.
