The president extending his power further than congress is willing to accept is not treason. The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort.
clinton was not impeached for having an affair. it was for perjury because he lied about it under oath. there is a distinction.
