"This is the correct thing to do according to the constitution."

This an interesting issue for several reasons. Treason is the only term defined in the Constitution. Natural born citizens were specified for the presidency, but as with every other term in the Constitution, so commonly understood as to assume the common-law definition cited by John Marshall, John Jay, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, and many others. But “treason” is special because we are the first government based upon laws and not men.

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.

Obama has been funding and supplying arms to President Morsi, who, as part of the Muslim Brotherhood, has declared the United States to be an enemy and has sworn to “kill the non-believers.” Sixteen F16s and two hundred Abrams tanks to Egypt and freighters of small arms to Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda in Syria from our transshipment station in Benghazi Libya (There was never an embassy or consulate in Benqhazi) is certainly giving "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies, unless we continue to pretend that Muslims who have sworn to convert or kill us all don't really mean what Allah ordainedd as their path to eternal happiness.

Sending the Saudi Family member, active in the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda, who just happened to be near the Boston Marathon finish line to see the handiwork of his Chechnya brothers, likely complicit in attacking our nation, out of reach of our justice system should also qualify as Treason.

I think that’s pretty clear and you could probably a case for Obama and lets face it a whole host of politicians.

If they just stopped doing a lot of what they do i’d be happy but congress is a snakepit. Every week they’re passing horrible stuff which either restrict liberty or spend $.

It boggles my mind.
