Impeachment VS Treason

[BroTom64]

Just a simple question: How many Representatives and Senators could be found guilty of treason for violating their oath to uphold the Constitution?

 

[Squire Robertsson]

None, Violating their oath to support and defend the Constitution does not violate the Constitution's definition of treason. That definition is clear and limited.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

 

[Reynolds]

The Democrats aid and comfort our enemies daily.

Many ARE guilty of aggravated goat-roping, contempt of cop, & being ugly in a public place.

How can members of Congress be held accountable (beyond the ballot box) for what appears to me to be clear violations of their oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America?

They can't.

I think a charge of treason should be for truly serious things - not political football.

Depends on who's looking!

Treason is BETRAYAL. For trump to be guilty of treason, he'd hafta be proven to have actively plotted to take over the entire federal govt. by force, or handed Kim Jong Un our deepest electronic secrets, etc.

However, virtually all govt. officials commit ESPIONAGE, which is the obtaining of secret intel, against other countries, & against each other. Like beauty, guilt is in the eye of the beholder!
