Question:
Obama has said during war-time “his job as president would include demanding that the American people recognize an “obligation” for military service” and other statements which imply he intends to re-institute the draft,
Can this be done by executive order or does it have to go through congress?

During the first Gulf War (which I opposed at the time) there were rumors of a return to the draft. My mother was telling everyone that, if the draft were reinstated, she was going to send me to Canada. Whenever she said this I would just grimace and politely/respectfully ignore her comment. Even though I opposed that war, I had absolutely no intention of disgracing myself or turning my back on my country in a time of need.
Things are different now. Until the United States ends the scourge of abortion, turns away from socialism and returns to observation of the natural law, I will not shed one drop of blood for this country. Nor will I permit my son to do so.
When the balloon goes up, don’t come looking for me or mine. Doing so will only cause you pain.
In the current situation is there a difference? He’ll demand and Congress will jump.
