If you want to understand what defines treason go read the Burr Trial. John Marshall set the bar very very high! Basically you have to be in the act of waging war against the US. Not even planning to like Burr, Wilkinson (Commanding General of the US Army) & Blennerhasset were accused of doing. Even then somehow (There were clearly political reasons!) the Confederate leadership didn’t qualify! So given those precedents treason is a hard charge to make.
Wilkinson was amazing! Not in a good way!) If number of national scandals & anti-US conspiracies count for anything one could argue he out did Arnold! And he always seemed to come out of it smelling like a rose. After the Burr trial he continued to get trusteed military commands & court martials where he was always exonerated. Possibly he was the original Hellary Clinton!
I understand the emotion.
However a dead man is hard to question.
“We haven’t had a official Congressionally declared war since WWII..............”
While that may be true technically and constitutionally, we know the Congress has either tacitly or overtly approved of past presidents having the power to unilaterally declare war on another country, or to involve the US in such wars covertly
In other words you are correct, but Congress has quietly been ceding their Constitutional authority over the past several decades. In fact, Congress exercises very little of the authority the Founders have given them, and are very happy to let the courts, media, and Executive Branch do the job for them.
She may be giving up some additional names of bigger fish.
The State Department hasn’t been working for the citizens of the USA since at least the GHW Bush administration.
