Is Obama a Traitor? Dead serious.

Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution defines treason as follows:

quote:

---

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.

Obama signed off on (and, in fact, initially took credit for) the release of the Taliban 5, against the advice of his military and intelligence advisors, and in violation of the law. This act seems to pretty clearly provide "aid and comfort" to an enemy of the USA (the Taliban). Obviously, more than two people witnessed this.

If not treason, how about just straight out nonfeasance of office?

Obama (as every other President) swore an oath as required under Article II, Section 1, Clause 8:

quote:

---

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

As the US Supreme Court decided in the Arizona case last year, the US Government has the constitutional authority to regulate immigration and naturalization in the USA. His overt failure to do anything about the present invasion from the southern border (and, in fact, his "Dream Act" EO which is one of the motivators for this) is a clear violation of his oath of office.
