The Constitution is also mute about what, precisely, constitutes "due process" in this particular situation.

No it isn't.

See Article III, Section 3:

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.
Two witnesses, or a confession in open Court.

I don't think treason is by any stretch of the imagination the only charge that applies here. Murder, for one.
