The Logan Act, a response against the defense of Obama’s treasonous behavior.

Paris:

Well, even though Samson is agreeing with me to some extent, I feel strongly enough about this matter that I feel I have to respond with more than just “You’re an idiot!”

Barack Obama is in direct violation of the Logan Act which is a single federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.

This is a hard line.  There is little to zero judicial discussion within the Supreme Court about this Act.

In addition, Justice Sutherland wrote in the majority opinion: “[T]he President alone has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation. He makes treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate; but he alone negotiates. Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude, and Congress itself is powerless to invade it.”

He continues saying, “The President is the constitutional representative of the United States with regard to foreign nations. He manages our concerns with foreign nations, and must necessarily be most competent to determine when, how, and upon what subjects negotiation may be urged with the greatest prospect of success. For his conduct, he is responsible to the Constitution.
