Brigadier General C. H. McDaniel (ret.), former Pentagon official during the Obama administration, law professor emeritus on issues of homeland security, discusses the meaning and purpose of the Posse Comitatus and Insurrection Acts from our nation’s founding to today. Why it is so important that to follow the meaning and spirit of Constitutional dictates and statutes that give clear guidance on what a president can and cannot do with regard to calling out the military on US soil.
McDaniel paints a portrait of how a nation of laws should be run, and how, in his opinion, the higher courts have gotten it wrong based upon historical analogs.
It is an in-depth discussion on why and how a president should act domestically, and the more plenary powers provided a president to act militarily in the international realm.
A must see video for all those wondering if the president is acting according to historical precedent set by other presidents who have held that office before.
