The Act does not apply to the Army and Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state’s governor.
The Posse Comitatus Act is no barrier to federal troops providing logistical support during natural disasters. Nor does it prohibit the president from using the Army to restore order in extraordinary circumstances - even over the objection of a state governor. What it does is set a high bar for the use of federal troops in a policing role.
“You do realize that it is Congress’s role to enact a specific war power authorization?”

The rest of your post is typical conspiratorial lunacy - hence my reference to “tinfoil hat.”
Let me guess - you’re a Libertarian Paul-bot

Right before your very eyes.
Answer this for our FR community of constitutional conservatives:
Are you comfortable with the current president and those that follow, having standing war power authorization that purposely does not define geographic conflict area or time limitation for deploying military force?
Is this “ISIS” War Powers Act that Mitch McConnell and GOP republicans are advocating, good for the well being of our nation, citizens and military?
If so, please explain in detail why.
