Here is the law very clearly stated and the link:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/953
‘Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.’
Sen. Cotton and his senatorial allies have not just breached a tradition but have broken the law! The law states it unambiguously, except for the exceptionalist claim that is the genesis of this letter! The desperation of the Nihilist Republicans, not content with the making Foreign Policy by inviting a head of state, Mr. Netanyahu, to address a joint session of Congress , but now seek to subvert the power of the President of the United States to make treaties with other nations! Lawless political nihilism is the order of the day in this once Republic!
