Again trusting CNN to tell the truth is foolhardy.

The US Constitution says no such thing. In fact, Article IV states in
Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion…

The Posse Comitatus Act is an 1878 act that was enacted to prevent Union troops from continuing to enforce federal laws in the defeated South after the American Civil war.

Here is the text as modified by Congress in recent years:

Sec. 1385. – Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTITUTION OR AN ACT OF CONGRESS, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Therefore in this case of CNN’s manure, they are, again, irrelevant. So much for Trump’s decision to protect our security. He’s well within his rights and those of the people he represents. You go POTUS!!
