In America only 16 people have been tried for Treason from 1776 - 2012. I am shocked to learn that some of them were pardoned by sitting presidents. Treason is defined by the
US Constitutional Dictionary as "treason
n the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of
one's country or of assisting its enemies in war
Source:
NMW" and Article Three of the United States Constitution listed on Wikipedia defines Treason as:
Section 3 defines
treason and its punishment.
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 attained.
I have gone to this length to show how President Obama maybe guilty for Treason for at least one crime and maybe more. I say this based on information coming out of the Benghazi massacre. The president was at the very least requested to send military assistance in what had become a 7 hour long over throw of an American Embassy and the rape and torture of U.S. Ambassador
J. Christopher Stevens and the murder of
U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer
Sean Smith and U.S. embassy security personnel Special Forces
Glen Doherty and
Tyrone Woods. The request for help by America was denied by what has come out most recently by President Barack Hussein Obama. It is also being exposed that Obama had a live feed to the attack and watched it as our American heros were being slain. Obama then went to sleep and attended a fund raiser for his reelection in Las Vegas. Obama knew what happened as it fell apart and then LIED to the American people about it.
1. Allowed Americans to be raped and killed while he watched and denied assistance 3 times.
2. Lied to the American people about the extent of what happened. Knowingly misled.
3. Aiding foreign enemy by not lending support during an act of war.
You need two witnesses to attest to these charges and I would subpoena:
1.
Hilary Rodham Clinton and
2.
General David Howell Petraeus
