>>The Logan Act might be constitutional if prosecution was limited to people who conspired with foreign agents against the United States.<< I'm not sure we need the Logan Act for that. Seems to me we have other crimes such as treason, espionage, etc. that can be applied. The Logan Act seems to be directed against the right of free speech. It was inspired by an incident in 1798 involving Dr. George Logan of Pennsylvania. Basically, he went to France and suggested ways that France could improve its relations with America. It's the kind of unofficial stuff that politicians, journalists, interest groups, high school exchange students, and rock music groups etc do all the time. So I think the intent of the law as originally written has questionable constitionality.
