"Congressional Republicans are fond of accusing President Obama of overreaching and overstepping his bounds, but the letter sent to the Iranian government was a clear case of overreach."

Treason?

The next paragraph says probably not: "As Rmuse pointed out, the letter most likely was not a crime, because it was a public letter, and not an official negotiation with a foreign country. The letter was an act of political sabotage by a group of senators who may not have legally committed treason, but who were acting with the intent of treasonously undermining the Commander In Chief."

The president is in charge of foreign relations. Trying usurp that role sounds like treason to me. Of is a public letter different than a negotiation? It's saying hey, here's a private channel to exploit.
