| Sep 27, 2019 at 14:30 | comment | added | David Hammen | The wikipedia article on Iva Toguri D'Aquino states that "She was subsequently charged by the United States Attorney's Office with eight counts of treason. Her 1949 trial resulted in a conviction on one count, making her the seventh American to be convicted on that charge, for which she spent more than six years out of a ten-year sentence in prison." | |

| Sep 21, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @Fizz Yeah I'm curious what the result is. I originally wrote it as "no one" and then found that example. I really just wanted to show it's rare and wasn't sure which way would be less likely to start a fight ;) | |
| Sep 21, 2019 at 13:53 | comment | added | what number you wanted | Well, I asked on law.stackexchange.com/questions/44899/… | |
| Sep 21, 2019 at 13:52 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @Fizz Seems inconsistent in how people write about it. Included it here to point out how just incredibly rare it is, making it kind of a meaningless bar for Trump. You can do a lot of really really bad things to the country and still not commit "treason". | |
| Sep 21, 2019 at 13:34 | comment | added | what number you wanted | Was Mumford really executed for treason as it is defined in the Constitution? The wiki article gives charges against him as "high crimes and misdemeanors against the laws of the United States, and the peace and dignity thereof and the Law Martial", which sounds a bit different, formally at least. Butler (the commander who executed him) did say it was for treason, but that was in a military order to the troops performing the execution. | |
