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.

That’s what I been telling you boys for 7 yrs!
Locked and Loaded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I were in Obama’s shoes, I wouldn’t even try that. Just like everything else, it will backfire in his face and he will wind up being lower than the snake he is.He will leave office defeated and possibly in handcuffs.
So agree. Obama is one low life abusive man. He can be put under arrest at any time by the Sgt. At Arms who has absolute and unstoppable authority to do so. We Americans would never allow Obama to carry this out
It is a bit more than that !
I don’t think the rest of the world would obey ‘King’ Obadman either What a delusional crazy shithead onadman is.
MARTIAL LAW BEING DECLARED GIVES THE TOP MILITARY IN THIS COUNTRY CAUSE TO RELIEVE OBAMA AND ARREST HIM !!!
The UN police?$#%&!@* I saw them in ALL THEIR DYSFUNCTIONAL GLORY in Bosnia (a state the size of Kentucky) how do you think those$#%&!@*hats could accomplish anything in CONUS other than an enormous casualty manifest.?
How could this happen.? This should never pass. All that power cannot and should not be allowed to any President. Where are the Republians on this? Quash it !!! Obama is already a nut case and loose cannon. Kill that Bill..
If he declared anything against we the people then we declare he is no longer the president of the United States.
