TRUMP TREASON
What are the stipulations for a high-ranking authority to lose their position?
Article II § 4 of the Constitution provides as follows:
“The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
What Does The Word Treason Mean?
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.
What Does The Term “Aid and Comfort” Mean in 2nd paragraph above?
Yale Law journal describes the aid and comfort as for the betterment, aid in helping them achieve specific laid out goals they can not accomplish on their own as well and complete surrender or control of someone’s needs as well as desires of something.
I like to know the law, it’s important in our country.
During the campaign, Donald Trump implored the Russians to hack and make public Hillary Clinton’s presumed missing emails. That the Russians were already hacking and releasing information to damage Hillary’s campaign and that Trump’s request was made publicly during a campaign rally does not diminish the fact that he was asking a foreign nation with which we have serious conflicting interests to take action to undermine American electoral processes is tantamount to treason.
To invite a foreign nation to undermine our electoral processes is a violation of the sanctity and sovereignty of the US. Is that not treason?
