body: If a President-elect was proven to have colluded with Foreign operatives to interfere with our presidential election, could he or she be charged with treason?

  **ENEMY OF THE STATE**: According to *50 USCS § 2204 [Title 50. War and National Defense; Chapter 39. Spoils of War]*, "enemy of the United States" means:
  
  
  
  > 
  > any country, government, group, or person that has been engaged in
  >  hostilities, whether or not lawfully authorized, with the United
  >  States; (3) the term "person" means (A) any natural person; (B) any
  >  corporation, partnership, or other legal entity; and (C) any
  >  organization, association, or group.

  But what is the legal definition of hostilities? Must it include a declaration of war? Much could be parsed and debated but I'm not at all sure he could actually be charged, even if it's proven he colluded. 
  
  
  What say ye??
  
  
  
title: If proven, would collusion with Russia to interfere with election meet criteria for charge of treason?
