“The Posse Comitatus Act, 18 U.S. Code, Section 1385, an original intent of which was to end the use of federal troops [TO POLICE STATE ELECTIONS] in former Confederate states, proscribes the role of the Army and Air Force in executing civil laws and states.”

KEY EXCEPTIONS TO THE POSSE COMITATUS ACT

“Pursuant to the presidential power to quell domestic violence, federal troops are expressly exempt from the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus Act, and this exemption applies equally to active-duty military and federalized National Guard troops.”
What is Adam Schiff trying to prevent? Everything you are witnessing [past & present [future]] centrally revolves around the Presidential Election of 2020.
Win by any means necessary [self-preservation].

Well, that settles the debate about the Possee Comitatus Act. Interesting tht originally the intent was to oversee state elections!

Context was the aftermath of the Civil War. It really doesn't settle anything regarding the PC, since in order to get there the IA or Martial Law needs to be cited/implemented.. Nothing new there. Can't go into states without IA with Fed troops for these purposes. Specifically the Army, but the Navy/Corps via other statutory limits. This would end with the use of the NG, if the governors weren't in on it.

That bill will be DOA. Looks like they are desperate and scared to me.
