Treason is punishable by death. If a death sentence is not imposed, defendants face a minimum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine (18 U.S.C.A. § 2381). A person who is convicted of treason may not hold federal office at any time thereafter. (West's Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2. Copyright 2008 The Gale Group, Inc.)
