Actions that could lead to a politician being considered a traitor in the United States

• According to the US Constitution, treason is defined as levying war against the United States or aiding its enemies.

• To be convicted of treason, there must be two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court.

• Examples of actions that could be considered treason include trying to overthrow the government, asking a foreign government to hack political opponents' servers, and stealing classified documents.

• Other actions that could be seen as treasonous include negotiating the release of enemy combatants, giving a country the US is fighting to the terrorists, and promising to become a dictator if elected.
