There are already laws on the books that strip citizenship from those who fight for a foreign nation against America.

A narrow reading of the law could be interpreted to exclude the scum who fight for ISIS because they aren’t technically a nation.

Personally I can overlook the lack of nationhood of ISIS.

Which law would cover Americans who are fighting for ISIS. I don't see how their actions could constitute treason because ISIS hasn't attacked the United States. And I don't think we've declared war against them. Furthermore, ISIS isn't even a nation so I don't think existing treason laws would cover this situation. Would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think it is a simple solution of charging these jihadists with treason.
