The executive branch executes the law. Piracy is the federal crime of robbery, kidnapping or other violence committed at sea or in the air.

Title 18, United States Code, section 1651 provides:

"Whoever, on the high seas, commits the crime of piracy as defined by the law of nations, and is afterwards brought into or found in the United States, shall be imprisoned for life."

Title 18, United States Code, section 2332B, headed "Acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries", refers to the crime of air piracy.
