Elizabeth Warren faces 5 years in jail and a fine for her fake minority status, used to get jobs and tenure.

Federal law provides in 18 U.S. Code § 1001:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully–

(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;

(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or

(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;

shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.

How much do minorities get penalized for claiming "white status"?

White status - what a hilarious concept.

But her mother told her she was Cherokee! It's family lore!

That's all she needs to let herself off from this.

Don’t tell Darrell Issa, he still has five months of empty threats of a contempt citation for Eric Holder on his schedule.

John Kerry’s patronymic grandfather changed his name from “Kohn” to “Kerry”. He later blew his brains out in the mens room of the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston.

This would be very hard to enforce. As I recall, there were 2 Supreme Court rulings that established that there is no verifiable basis for racial identification, and people can claim to be whatever race they deem themselves to be.
(I’ve used this on occassion to claim my race is “elven”.)

With Warren, there is a chance, because she specifically claimed to be Cherokee, which is a tribe and not a race. But still, enforcement is a long shot.

” Don’t tell Darrell Issa, he still has five months of empty threats of a contempt citation for Eric Holder on his schedule.”

Boehner has been the one responsible for stalling the investigation. He recently came out and denied it, as the press got ahold of it.

State law is presumably different.

“knowingly and willfully”

That’s her out, she’ll continue to claim that she was told this by her family and sincerely believed them.
