Could Sensenbrenner's actions be considered treasonous?

[seemunkee]

Since he was acting unilaterally and ignoring the rules of conduct of the House should his actions be taken as an act of treason.

3. you should review the definition of treason....

Section 3. Treason

Clause 1. Definition and Limitations

Treason

The treason clause is a product of the awareness of the Framers of the ''numerous and dangerous excrescences'' which had disfigured the English law of treason and was therefore intended to put it beyond the power of Congress to ''extend the crime and punishment of treason.'' 1283 The debate in the Convention, remarks in the ratifying conventions, and contemporaneous public comment make clear that a restrictive concept of the crime was imposed and that ordinary partisan divisions within political society were not to be escalated by the stronger into capital charges of treason, as so often had happened in England.
