The Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by the Senate is a rewrite of the Constitution’s War Powers clause and grants the President broad authority to deploy ground troops almost everywhere in the world, including the United States. That’s the warning being voiced by Democratic Senator Chris Murphy in response to the AUMF bill proposed by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The bill would grant the president overwhelming control over where the US forces are deployed, which is scary for two reasons. The first is the obvious threat to American citizens’ rights. If the military can be sent to an American city based on loose justifications, they could be used to impose martial law and even empower a police state that has already grown too powerful.
The second reason is the plain call back to Manifest Destiny. Americans do not want to police the world. If the European Union is too busy handling the migrant crisis and Russia has finally come to terms with the harsh economic reality that their country is on the brink of collapse, it would leave the United States to ensure the sovereignty of all democratic nations. A solution that nobody would want.

I’m still wondering which side the military will take once obama does try to use force on American citizens. Most of the military despise him
Teresa Franklin ever heard of citing your sources? Since your so quick to throw out the statistic perhaps you should keep the Wikipedia link you used on file (Crtl + C than Crtl + V).
I’m thinking that’s why he goes out of his way to cause civil unrest with racial diversity then he can in fact declare martial law
He has no gas left in the tank. Just like any other president he wants to coast into retirement. He doesn’t have an evil plan. It’s the next potential commander we should be worried about.

Who armed Al Qaeda? Reagan…. Next.
If by examples you mean executive orders then…http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/executiveorders.asp
Bush issues more executive orders than Obama. TR issued more than both combined.
You should all watch Obama speech on his book in 1995 under the vault. He is an over privileged moron that thinks he was the only one uncomfortable with his professors and coaches due to blackness. I’m wait and I was treated like c**p by the same people. I grew into a mean. He stayed a Whitney liberal$#%&!@* Watch the video. Trust me. It will all come together and you were right about him.
