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.

Seven years ago when obama was just finishing this 1st year in office. I told my friends that would listen that before obama was done he would name himself king of the United States. Everyone laughed at me. Then a few years ago when I stated to realized the number of exective order he was writing into law and that he would do something to stop the next presidental election like declaring martial law can still happen. Wake up America. He has a goal to change America. He could be damn close to doing just that.
The military would not turn against us citizens. I’m fairly sure of that.
Over our dead bodies will he rewrite the Constitution!!!
Maybe obummer is planing to blow up the world
This is something the traitor might pull. He still has months to go and he could easily incite the muslims and black people to defend this most unlawful act ever.
Impossible
He will not have any power if he is arrested for treason what is wrong with congress why won’t they do what they were elected to do.
And no one will listen simple as that !!!!!
But the people in the armed forces stand with us as a nation not Obama if$#%&!@*hit the fan you can bet your bottom dollar OUR SOLDIERS WILL PROTECT ITS INTEREST AND FAMILIES HERE ON OUR SOIL !!!
Hopefully, if any president ever tries to use the military to implement and install his own laws against the American people, the military must defy him.
