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.

No, Obama has no such Constitutional authority. When Obama is part of the problem which creates dissentions and injustices in the world and in the United States, his power are strictly limited by the powers granted only in writing by the Constitution itself. Any other power is made up attempts to abuse his authority in the whitehouse.
the Obamination is never gonna have the balls to do this, for he knows Americans are armed, and will NOT go freely into his martial law. so he better think long and hard about what power he tries to use on the American people. it may work on his immigrants..but he will play hell getting a patriot to follow him into any of that c**p!

Military won’t follow that order!!!!
