The duty is that he is the commander in chief of the armed forces and giving orders to the military is a core presidential function.Depends. Official acts can be used to abuse power, sure. But these are functions of the Presidency as spelled out by the Constitution.
But ordering an extrajudicial killing of an American citizen does not fall under any Constitutional described Presidential duty.
The problem is will the eventual appeal to the SCOTUS about said act be ruled as an official Presidential duty? We know how they will rule for him.
Are you a paid endorser?Depends.
Are you a paid endorser?
No, you are naive and living in denial. You clearly did not read the opinion. The President can order the killing of those state officials by the military as commander and chief as an “official act” and is immune. Can’t even ask what their intent was.So, what you are saying is that you did not read the ruling and don't know that the president cannot remove state election officials.
He can actually have them killed and not explain why.So, what you are saying is that you did not read the ruling and don't know that the president cannot remove state election officials.
Minor point, the US military is an expeditionary force, it's not to be used on American soil. That said, we're in a post-reality world so who gives a shit.The duty is that he is the commander in chief of the armed forces and giving orders to the military is a core presidential function.
The Posse Comitatus Act only applies to (D) presidents, not (R) presidents - likely Roberts court ruling if such use was ever challenged.Minor point, the US military is an expeditionary force, it's not to be used on American soil. That said, we're in a post-reality world so who gives a shit.
Not quite, the oath is defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.Minor point, the US military is an expeditionary force, it's not to be used on American soil. That said, we're in a post-reality world so who gives a shit.
While technically true, afaik there's been no officially stated domestic enemy that has required the use of the US military, in US history. Civil war doesn't even really count since it was technically a different country at the time they were deployed.Not quite, the oath is defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Yeah but it has been provisioned. Anyone declared enemy of the constitution by the defender of constitution, the US President, is fair game. This is how retarded this decision was.While technically true, afaik there's been no officially stated domestic enemy that has required the use of the US military, in US history. Civil war doesn't even really count since it was technically a different country at the time they were deployed.
Uh, I thought the US did not recognize the Confederate States of America as separate country but internal states in rebellion. They were considered domestic enemy I thought?While technically true, afaik there's been no officially stated domestic enemy that has required the use of the US military, in US history.

Oh maybe that was the case, I'm not sure on the legalese of how things when down then. I just assumed it was regarded like 'oh so you want to be an enemy country? Okay.'Uh, I thought the US did not recognize the Confederate States of America as separate country but internal states in rebellion. They were considered domestic enemy I thought?

Got your point.Looks like you’re the one who didn’t read the decision. He can have them arrested or killed at his leisure.
