Reply #45: Please read U.S. Constitution Article III Section 3

[Ozymanithrax]

Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.

Being owned by a non-citizen does not fit the Constitution's definition. We are not at war with Saudi Arabia. None of that is treason. Now, it does call into question laws that keep citizens from donating to political campaigns. That would just be a violation of law, not treason. Corporations considered American Corporations, that pay taxes here, that have their headquarters here, would not be foreigners, even if some of their investors are not citizens.

The problem, as I see it, is that a corporation is a convenient legal fiction used to protect investors from failure or violation of the law. They are not living citizens. They should not be able to spend money in excess of what members of the board of Directors can spend individually. But they simply don't fit the Constitutional definition of treason.
