Traitorous GOP


Senator John Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress, clearly a foreign policy decision. Now 47 GOP senators have signed a letter telling Iran that any agreement they reach with Obama is good only until the end of this term and would be seen as no more than an executive decision between President Obama and the Ayatollah Khamenei; more foreign policy.

These are traitorous decisions. Under the Logan Act of 1799, last amended in 1994, executive power to engage in foreign policy is only vested with the President. It forbids and unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. The intent is to prevent US citizens without authorization from interfering in relations between the US and foreign governments. A violation is punishable under Federal law is a felony and is punishable up to three years in prison. Therefore, by law, all the 47 GOP senators and Boehner should be impeached and thrown unceremoniously into jail.

It seems that Mr. Boehner and the rest of the GOP believe that since Mr. Obama cannot be re-elected, he is no longer a recognized president and that Mr. Boehner thinks he is taking control of the government. This again is treason. Nothing more, nothing less. This could be a dangerous precedent for the future. It is up to the Democrats to stand up and prevent this take-over. The quicker they act, the better for this country.
