Not exactly.

Art III, Sect 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."

I thought we were waging a War on Terror.

Where does it say that in the Constitution?

War on Terror/ISIS/Iraq at time of the election doesn’t count?

We are in a state of war, declared by congress!

Go back to the Lindsay/ Kavanaugh Q&A...very relevant.
