First, you must be a citizen of the US. Secondly, you must actively help and give aid, to an enemy of our nation.
I sincerely hope that you do not plan to be treasonous!
The treason conviction carries a death sentence, and it definitely applies to the crime.

There must be a lot of restrictions, especially when it comes to giving aid and comfort to the enemy in wartime, but I don't know what they are. Jane Fonda and John Kerry are probably very aware of them and have taken advantage of them.
