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.

He can only work with laws that have already been made. He still has to have Congressional approval. As far as martial law, he has to have a compelling reason. Not just because people dont agree with him. And if he violates the Constitution, he can forget any Millitary or local or state law enforcement Support. So how would he enforced it??
You made a big MISTAKE, and you all will suffer like the rest of USA//you will support more men muslium,you spending Social Security and other tax payers $$ is onyou,the crimes you commit you pay for not the We the People//you are wrong/God Bless USA and our DEAR USA Military//you are helping Obama destroy USA//
Good luck with that. If he did it would begin our next civil war.
We can only hope, if it comes to this, the military he hates, the military he is destroying, the military he refuses to honor, WILL GIVE HIM A BIG “F” YOU. DO IT YOURSELF.
Well, I smoked the herb last night and came to this conclusion!
Okay so NC is obviously rebelling against the new ‘trans law’ been seeing it. But now they are making it also in all public schools. And if you do not comply, they take away the state funding for schools and such, which is our tax payer money.. So TEXAS basically told Obama$#%&!@*you and your blackmail bull$#%&!@* we do not need you and your 60 pieces of silver. And then some. So what I’m getting at is, NC, TX …the public announcement of the law applying to schools supposedly tomorrow… How many other states are going to jump on board? Many!!! So many! And what is that? It’s an uprising, a revolt. And what happens in a revolt? Marshall law… And in Marshall law there is no November election. I’m just saying… But really, i feel this is going to happen!
Iguess were screwed the spineless Congress are as big a$#%&!@*as obummer is . this is not news , but it certainly bad
