A petition calling for charges against Republican senators who sent a letter to Iran's leaders has collected more than 187,000 signatures in two days.

While the US is attempting to reach an agreement with Iran government, "47 senators saw fit to instead issue a condescending letter to the Iranian government stating that any agreement brokered by our president would not be upheld once the president leaves office," according to the petition.

It further claims that the senators "committed a treasonous offence when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments."

Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, and punishable with imprisonment of up to three years, according to federal law.

6. Over 239,000 Americans Sign Petition Demanding Treason Charges Against GOP Senators Behind Letter

March 13, 2015

The Republican’s effort to torpedo the ongoing negotiations between President Obama and the Iranian Government by sending a traitorous letter to the Iranians has backfired in a spectacular way. As a result of the letter, over 200,000 Americans are now calling for charges of treason to be filed against the 47 Republican senators who signed the letter.

A petition filed with whitehouse.gov on Monday has more than 200,000 signatures as of mid-Thursday afternoon. Just to be clear; various right-wing rallies planned days in advance could only dream of this sort of turn out.

The White House must respond to any petition that gets 100,000 signatures in 30 days. This one netted more than twice that in four.

The petition calls for the rogue senators to be charged under the Logan Act, which dates from 1799 and forbids unauthorized citizens, including senators, from negotiating with foreign governments. Now, the law is out-of-date and probably wouldn’t be applicable in court, but the sheer volume of signatures means the White House will have to add its own response.

At any rate, it’s clear that Americans have had enough of these destructive maneuvers and are demanding that something be done to reign in the anti-American Kamikaze Caucus-mentality that’s metastasized the Republican party.
