OK. Treason is defined in the Constitution. Only crime that is.
It has generally been interpreted as waging war on the United States or giving aid and comfort to US enemies in a declared war.
Which congressmen do you think can be convicted of such acts?
BTW, treason, aside from its definition in the Constitution, is no different from any other crime. Congressmen can be charged with any crime.
A legislator accused or or even convicted of treason would not be automatically removed from office. That would still require expulsion by his House.
Or, if he was executed, that would also remove him from office.
Treason?
Was Benedict Arnold charged with Treason?
Was the American Revolution a “Declared War”?
Congressmen take an oath of office to protect and defend the Contitution of the United States. FACT.
In my opinion, MOST Congressmen are guilt of selling out the interest of the US in violation of their oath of office to foreign interests. Foreign financial interests.
I am convinced that is why both Republicans and Democrats find every excuse to not have their betrayal of the nation exposed for what it is.
You can play semantic games all you want, it does not change the fact that those Congressmen are Criminals and need to be removed from office and punished accordingly.
They know what they are guilty of and the gravity of the offence. Why do you think a number of them are hanging it up while they still can?
