Is there a federal death penalty?

I'm just if there are crimes on the books at the Federal level that call for the death penalty?

Yes there is a Federal Death Penalty.
Timothy McVeigh was executed in a Federal prison for conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, use of a weapon of mass destruction, destruction by explosives, and eight counts of first-degree murder.

Yes there is a federal death penalty. The federal government got back into the death penalty business in 1988, attorneys general have authorized 420 prosecutions, according to statistics kept by the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel Project: 180 during the 1990s, an average of 18 per year, and 240 since 2000, an average of 40 per year, mostly attributable to the Bush administration.

Yes the Timothy McVeigh case was the most recent example of a Federal Execution, although there were allegations that the entire McVeigh exection was a show and that McVeigh was still breathing as he was wheeled out.

Yes, a federal defendent was just sentenced to death in Staten Island for killing two undercover police officers, who were a part of a team trying to deal with illegal gun purchases.
