On October 11, 2006, the United States government charged Adam Yahiye Gadahn for videos in which he appeared as a spokesman for al-Qaeda and threatened attacks on American soil.[69] He was killed on January 19, 2015, in an unmanned aircraft (drone) strike in Waziristan, Pakistan.
AFAIK, convicting someone of treason doesn't lead to their expulsion from congress... or jail time...
Unbelievable, I’m hoping he gets charged for crimes against children !
what i mean is that traditionally the punishment for treason is death. although i'm not sure the last time that sentence was carried out.
Exactly! I doubt it’s happened in 100’s of years . great research,,when was the last time someone was executed for treason !

Last one in US - William Bruce Mumford, convicted of treason and hanged in 1862 for tearing down a United States flag during the American Civil War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bruce_Mumford
Just keep in mind how Al Capone was put behind bars.....By any means necessary
Wouldn’t treason be punishable by death?
Minimum 5 years in prison and disqualification from ever holding public office again. Maximum death.
There was a CIA guy who made millions during the 80’s selling intelligence and causing a number of colleagues killed by the Russians.
He was sentenced to life in prison.
Aldrich Ames - damn well should have hung.

I always thought the penalty for treason was a short drop and a sudden stop
