Good, post your real name and address here so you can house the company sized element of soldiers that need quarters when the Army comes to your town.
You will if Hillary is elected president sometime down the road. Do not grant the Federal Government any powers today that you do not want Hillary (or someone worse) to have in the future. Do you think a Bill Clinton would have abused this kind of power? Can you say "Screw the election, I control the military and I am going to keep on being President, for the children."
