    Seems very tied to war, but not exclusively. I’m not a lawyer, so don’t come to me if you do commit treason for some reason.

    Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: 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.
