Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution
Section 3 – The Text
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.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Section 3 – The Meaning
Treason is the only crime specifically defined in the Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3, a person is guilty of treason if he or she goes to war against the United States or gives “aid or comfort” to an enemy. He or she does not have to physically pick up a weapon and fight in combat against U.S. troops. Actively helping the enemy by passing along classified information or supplying weapons, for example, can lead to charges of treason.
Vocal opposition to a U.S. war effort through protest and demonstration, however, is protected by the free speech clause in the First Amendment. A conviction of treason must be based either on an admission of guilt in open court or on the testimony of two witnesses.
Congress may set the punishment, but it must be directed only at the guilty person and not at his or her friends or family if they were not involved in the crime.

As they talked, the Iranian said, “I have just one question about what I have seen in America .” The General said,”Well, is there anything I can do to help?” The Iranian whispered, “My son watches this show called ‘Star Trek’ and in it there is … Kirk who is Canadian,Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is black, and Sulu who is Japanese, but there are NO Muslims. My son is very upset and doesn’t understand why there aren’t any Iranians, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Palestinians, Saudis, Syrians, or Pakistanis on ‘Star Trek’. “The General leaned toward the Iranian Ambassador, and whispered in his ear, “That’s because it takes place in the future…” |

This explains quite a lot. Especially Obama’s attitude towards Israel and why he didn’t support Iran´s freedom movement.
Iranian expert Dr. Michael Ledeen was on with Mark Levin Wednesday night to discuss Obama’s history with Iran. Ledeen told Levin that Obama sent former Ambassador William G. Miller to Tehran in 2008 to assure the regime that Obama was their friend.

Michael Ledeen wrote about Obama’s secret meetings with Tehran on August 29, 2014.
During his first presidential campaign in 2008, Mr. Obama used a secret back channel to Tehran to assure the mullahs that he was a friend of the Islamic Republic, and that they would be very happy with his policies. The secret channel was Ambassador William G. Miller, who served in Iran during the shah’s rule, as chief of staff for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and as ambassador to Ukraine. Ambassador Miller has confirmed to me his conversations with Iranian leaders during the 2008 campaign.
