The Constitution of the United States, Article 3, Section 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.
"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."
Theodore Roosevelt famously stated, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
So, by that definition, "giving aid and comfort," John Kerry committed treason on national TV on July 22, 1971, when he asked Pres. Nixon to accept Le Duc Tho's 7-point plan for withdrawal from Vietnam, which Mme. Nguyen Binh had relayed to Mr. Kerry in Paris three weeks earlier.
