What has congress set as punishment for treason?

Nothing. The US Constitution is quite specific about the definition of treason and the punishment for treason. Congress could propose a Constitutional Amendment which, if ratified, could change the punishment for treason, but that does not appear to be likely anytime soon. Section 3 of the US Constitution (the highest law of America alonfg with ratified Treaties) defines treason and its punishment.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 attainted.
