Again, maybe you didn’t get to the post where I explained that I am not talking about the military removing a sitting President. I’m talking about the military detaining an enemy combatant to prevent them from being able to inflict serious harm on the country.

Does the NDAA authorize the military to do that - to detain enemy combatants to keep them from inflicting serious harm, as indicated by previous actions/connections/stated intentions/ associations, etc that fit objective, pre-determined criteria for an enemy combatant?

If Obama had blown up Washington, DC with a nuke, would somebody have had the authority to arrest him after the fact? If so, who? Would somebody have had the authority to DETAIN him if they knew in advance that he planned to blow up DC? If so, who?

If not, then how does Congress impeach somebody when they’ve already been blown to bits by the guy they authorized the military to detain in order to protect the country but the military refused because they might look “political” to the media - some portion of which also got blown up?

No, you are talking about a military coup. You're trying to create all sorts of imaginary scenarios to justify it, but it still boils down to a military coup. Ain't gonna happen.
