An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
“ I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).”
Says enemies of the constitution can be domestic..,
Somebody should tell douche womanish Esper to read the oath.. unless Trump put him up to his speech in the first place...
Somebody should tell Matt to read more before posting his imbecile comments.
“1. Can the President Use the Military to Respond to Domestic Unrest?
Yes, but this is subject to certain, critical legal restrictions under the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act. The president is, of course, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces (and the D.C. National Guard), but he lacks the authority to use the military in any manner that he pleases. That authority is constrained by Congress and the courts and further informed by military instructions and doctrine.
Under the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, Congress has limited the president’s ability to use the federal (title 10) military in domestic law enforcement operations such as searches, seizures, and arrests. A criminal statute, the Posse Comitatus Act makes it unlawful for the Army or Air Force to “execute the laws … except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.” So, as a general matter the president cannot simply call in federal military forces or nationalize state National Guard units to quell domestic civil disturbances in Minneapolis or elsewhere without pointing to a Posse Comitatus Act exception.“
