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.
For all the emotional, revenge seekers in the crowd out there, if you value the Constitution at all, you will respect that it is bigger than one lame brain terrorist wannabee.
The process to have had Anwar al-Awlaki declared as having committed treason is as important as any court trial of any common suspect of a crime.
We are a nation of laws, not lynch mobs, even if the President himself leads the lynch mob and that's exactly what he did.
This President, Barrack Obama, is guilty of murdering a U.S. citizen without due process of law or adhering to Constitutional guidelines.
It doesn't matter that the citizen was a low life treacherous scumbag. If they had practiced due diligence, dotted their i's and crossed their t's, they would have presented facts in court from at least 2 witnesses and having been found a traitor, Congress could have easily stripped his citizenship and there wouldn't even be a debate constitutionally on the matter.
