It IS The Logan Act that has been violated by the 47 Senators.

5. In Law there is always assumptions, right?

Now, even though part of the Law is not clear based on the action of the parties involved, we can assume that their action is what defines this clause. Yes the Law is clearly conflicting in this area, but we can also assume that this area is at the descresion of the attorney to define the actions of said Senators.

Although most assume that means without authority of the Executive Branch, the Logan Act itself does not specify what this term means, and the State Department told Congress in 1975 that “Nothing in section 953 . . . would appear to restrict members of the Congress from engaging in discussions with foreign officials in pursuance of their legislative duties under the Constitution.”

What legislative duties are those? That is the area I'm looking, does it include contacting a nation that the country is about to go to war with, or negotiation with crucial disagreement? I'm sure there are other areas in Congressional Law that can be tied in with The Logan Act that will show violation., right?
