"Aid and comfort to the enemy" is part of the definition of the crime of treason, which is the only crime defined in the Constitution.
Yes Treason is defined as the only crime in the US Constitution because under English law; anyone was tried for treason by the whim of the court. It should be noted that those who wrote the constitution quickly admitted that the constitutional definition is for "citizens who owe no duty" (have no oath of office) and leaves normal treason (by government officials) untouched.
The only individual crime for which the Constitution lays out specific criteria is Treason."Section 3. 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 attained."

Treason
Treason; however it does refer to "high crimes and misdemeanors" as the basis for impeachment and removal from office of federal officials. It does not textually specify what these are.
