Reply to "impeachment? treason?"

We need to stop throwing the word treason around whenever someone does or says something that is anti-Trump. The U.S. Constitution defines treason.

Article III, 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."

Nobody can commit treason against the President just by opposing him. The President is not the elected Monarch so nobody can commit treason against "the crown." It would be too far a stretch to say that opposing Trump is " adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
