Fueled by the media narrative that a number of Republican Senators sending a letter to Iran was an act of treason, a whitehouse.gov petition to that effect has been gathering signatures and easily broke the 100,000 signature barrier that forces a response from the White House.
What remains to be seen is the White House will actually give its far-left base what they want in addressing its political opposition.
In fact, per this ABC report, the petition has now received over 165,000 signatures.
The creator of this petition, known only by the initials C.H., alleges that the 47 senators committed a treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments.
The letter, which was published on Monday, warned Iranian leaders that any nuclear deal they sign with President Obama wont last past his second term.
Jerome Barron, a professor of Constitutional Law at George Washington University, told ABC News in an interview that he finds the senators letter disrespectful, but he does not believe the senators have committed treason.

where is the petition to IMPEACH OBAMA.... HOLDER
that one i’ll sign
It will get very ugly....
Me too. But where is our petition of support?
No problem....as long as Obozo, Holder and the rest of the criminal Chicago band of treasonous scum are tried then thrown into jail for a long list of crimes against the state first. Not to mention the well documented acts of treason by Sec of State John Kerry, who should have been in jail long ago.
So, is that what it takes? 165,000 signatures?
I think we have a lot more than that asking to impeach this bastard we call pResident.
Where are THOSE reports?
"I'll Have The Senators Over For a Beer,
and Tell Them to Stay
The Hell Out of My Area!
and Death to America!"
All signatures originating from Hillary’s personal iphone.
What happened with all those online petitions I’ve signed calling for Obama to be prosecuted as a traitor?
Anybody remember the letter Ted Kennedy sent to Russia offering to coordinate the efforts of Senate Democrats with the Communists to stop the Reagan defense build up.
