I'm not sure the military would allow that. 

And I'm pretty sure that a goodly portion of them would be willing to.

The "struggle" between field grade and above vs. senior NCO will be, to say the least, dramatic.  Fortunately, field grade and above do not know how to lead and merely rely on the august majesty of the tin on their shoulders.

stay safe.

France kinda sorta did that today by extending "special powers" for 3 months. :police:

Their "It's just a piece of paper" is different from the one we have.  They have changed it more often than a runway model changes outfits at fashion week.

The U.S. Constitution does not contain any "special powers" clause that would allow the POTUS to declare anything that would delay the expiration of his term of office.

Lincoln came pretty close to that.

stay safe.

THAT will stop Obama -- who has meticuously obeyed every subtle nuance of the Constitution since assuming office! ;/ [popcorn]

A Republican majority in the Senate and Congress and 31 R controlled legislatures, 32 R governors, and 68 out of 98 state legislatures will hamper his plans.

And I think those numbers will increase in the next election making it even worse for him if he has any actual plans to do so.

He would have to be insane to even try.

Yeah, that would cause a civil war.   Even attempting it would be suicide.


And contrary to VA's opinion, I'm still in the contact with a couple of friends of mine who are at the tip of Field Grade.  They'd be ready to go full-tilt boogie against the White House, and kicking some folks to the curb, should Obama try something as suggested.

The military hates Obama with a passion.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Doesn't the officer corps skew heavily southern, conservative and Christian? Not Obama's biggest fan club.

I seem to remember hearing the same crap about "W" except it was coming from the left.

Yes, I may need to reevaluate, taking my own bias out of the equation. If we have any type of attack here, especially if related to Syrians, or people posing as Syrians on documentation, that's going to be a game changer and I think regardless of his abilities, it will greatly boost Trump based on his rhetoric, regardless of if he'd be able to do anything as president or not.


I stand by my original assessment: Trump voters just don't care.  =)

+1, except exponentially nuttier. W would cause a massive hurricane that would destroy 1/2 the US and then declare martial law....

Fox News opines that voters are no longer looking for a presidential candidate but for a commander in chief who will get a handle on terrorism.

Could be.

I think I agree with that. Plus, someone who truly isn't a Washington insider, as opposed to a party apparatchik who just claims to be an outsider. Think how refreshing it would be for us to have a president who is owed more than he owes ...
