Wouldn’t the Posse Comitatus Act forbid Obama to do this at all?

You would think. But, with the leftists at the helm in the senate and house, who knows?

Wouldn’t the Posse Comitatus Act forbid Obama to do this at all? IF he cared, his super majority in Congress would just add another exception or ten. It is just a law, not part of the Constitution. Although I expect them to have a go at a few changes there as well, but not too soon.

Not the Marines or Navy, although they are covered by Naval regulations to the same effect. But it certainly doesn't cover some not yet in existence Domestic Security Force, that is not even part of the DoD.
