Unless I’m quite confused, the military is prohibited by posse comitatus, and probably other laws, from performing law enforcement in the United States, except under very specific exceptions.

Do you really, seriously want to set a precedent for the military to remove presidents from office?

Maybe you didn’t get to the post where I explained that I am not talking about military removing a President from office. I am talking about military detaining enemy combatants, regardless of who they are.

Do you believe that Congress lawfully gives the military the authority to do that in the NDAA?

And do you believe that the NDAA is about NATIONAL DEFENSE, not law enforcement? Law enforcement is after the fact; national defense is PREVENTING an enemy combatant from being able to blow up the whole country.

Wouldn't the Federal Marshals remove him? Who would give them the orders, though? How does the AG fit in here? Holder wouldn't give any such order.
