I don't need to make a deal with you to maintain my own practice of waiting for evidence and rulings... For instance, you won't find any posts from me that accuse Trump of doing things that haven't been proved, but most of what people attack Trump for are his declared intentions. For instance, what proof do we have to wait for to accuse him of wanting to build a wall?
To be honest, I don't care that he's a pompous asshole... that's not the problem I have with him. The problem I have with him lies in his stated intentions and the actions he has so far taken which clearly violate the laws and the spirit of a nation that was a LOT greater 3 months ago.

You have not supplied any evidence in your post to support that Trump is guilty of Treason. However there is evidence that Obama committed a treasonous act, he "gave aid and comfort to the enemy", by releasing terrorists for one American deserter. This is a clear, text book, definition of treason according to Article three of the United States Constitution.
Show me the evidence that Donald Trump committed an act of treason as defined by Article three of the Constitution. To bring a charge of treason against anyone, let alone a sitting president, you need concrete, indisputable evidence. To date there is no evidence that can support such a charge.
You stated that,

In any case, none of the events you've listed can legally justify an impeachment. They are just unfortunate events that you like to blame Obama for. Trump, on the other hand has already crossed legal lines that make him impeachable and he's only been in office for two months. For instance, when he sat at a crowded dinner and ordered an attack on Yemen with his side of potatoes he forgot to check the international agreements on the conduct of war. It turns out his attack violated terms that the U.S. ratified and under the U.S. Constitution an international agreement ratified by the U.S. is to be considered "the law of the land". So he violated the U.S.Constitution. That makes him impeachable and that's just ONE of MANY examples.

Where is this evidence? I have been scanning the news since the first of the year, and no where in the news is the story you are relating here. Therefore, I will ask you the following questions based upon your story:
1. Who reported the story? What were the names of the eyewitnesses? Is the story credible and why did it not hit the major news networks?
2. There is a standing order since 9/11/2001 that "Any country harboring terrorists or assisting terrorists, are enemies of the United States." This gives the United States, and the Commander-in-Chief, authority to attack on any soil, the enemies of the United States regardless of international law. This order was agreed upon by NATO and the Security Council of the United Nations in 2001. Now my question is this, if Trump is guilty of violating International Law, what UN Security Council or NATO Law did he violate? I stated the standing order from 9/11/2001, state the violation.
3. Donald Trump has been call many names in the media, yet no court action (aside from the court action against his constitutional right to the illegal immigration law) has been challenged. With that being said, if the said evidence of treason is legitimate, why hasn't anyone accused and charged the president with this crime? And where are the arraignment documents, the grand jury indictment, the House and Senate procedures charging him with treason?
Since there is no evidence that you suggest of his alleged treason, and since no grand jury or arraignment has been made, due to lack of evidence, and since there is no evidence the House cannot accuse him, and the Senate cannot convict him. Therefore, you have nothing, unless evidence comes to light if there is anything.
Yes, I do support Trump, however, if there is evidence that he committed treason, I too will want to see him prosecuted to the full extent of the law, that includes death. However, there is no evidence, instead there is evidence of the Obama administration spying on the president-elect. Now, Obama at this point cannot be charged. So who unmasked the classified material.
Since there is no clear and concrete evidence that Trump violated Article Three, section three of the Constitution, which clearly states:
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 attained.Present the evidence so we can review it. If not give up the argument of impeachment and treason.
