Martial law has been declared 42 times in the U.S. and/or its territories, which works out to once every 5.79 years on average over our 243 year existence.

Many of those for natural disasters, etc - correct?

Whether or not martial law is declared, there's a couple of things that are not going to be affected by such a declaration:

1) There is no provision in the US Constitution to overturn the results of the election as "decided" by the Electoral College and "affirmed" by Congress. Martial law can't do that.

2) There is no provision to change when the President and Vice-President's term start per the 20th Amendment. Martial law can't do that.

3) There is no provision for the President to "order" new Federal elections in a state. Martial law can't do that.

Estimates are we have around 300,000 possible CCP chinese running around the US. Chinese influence in our election and cyber attacks on our infrastructure. It ain’t Russia folks. Between that and the fraud election we are past the normal political process. Trump knows this and I cannot imagine that he will shirk his promise to preserve,protect and defend the constitution.

Pic, I did not know that this forum you obviously must own was limiting to replies you alone feel inclined to use to insult peoples efforts to present their thoughts on a topic. /S

As for being a newbie, I am not, as for you being almost 80 years of age which you suggest in your reply may I suggest that during your remaining years you ponder whether insulting people is the way you want to be remembered.

Upon reflection I find your efforts to belittle as being childish, uncalled for and insulting to those who see the loss of numbers here over time from efforts like you just presented.

Have a good day.

After going through the cold war, mutually assured destruction, nuclear bunkers and all that, everything is ‘on the books’ somewhere, I assure you.

Thankfully, no.

There is no law or EO "on the books" that is superior to the 20th Amendment and the process of the Electoral College and Congress affirming the results. If there us, please share.

If President Trump does not prevail and is not re-elected, he has until January 20, 2021 at Noon to do what he can to uncover what occurred.

Bingo

Does anyone think that, with all the lock downs, restrictions, quarantines, etc., etc., New York (City and State) isn’t under some limited martial law?

And THAT’S illegal because it hasn’t been declared by Guv Corleone.

The same applies for California and a few others.

REFUSE!!!

That kids is the emotive reply from someone who had nothing constructive to back up their initial childish effort.

This concludes the lesson on civil discourse within public forums.

Martial law versus democrats running America like the CCP. Re-education camps, eternal lockdowns, property confiscation and persecution for conservative (Read: American) principles.

Martial Law sounds better and better every day.

F* the democrats. F* the chicoms. F* them both to hell.

“Estimates are we have around 300,000 possible CCP chinese running around the US. Chinese influence in our election and cyber attacks on our infrastructure.”

I would point out that you’re not going to get anywhere with ‘estimates’ when more than half of the US electorate is about to roll over for election fraud by deliberately turning a blind-eye to it. Foreign agents can do so much more when the citizenry is as dysfunctional as it is right now.

There are a lot of things going on in this country right now if you are paying attention. Things that form a pattern. That pattern resembles a coming executive/military intervention. If you think Trump, Pompeo and Ratclffe and Miller dont know who and where most of these CCP are you are not thinking clearly.

He isn’t going to declare martial law per se. He will use a few “loop holes” to allow spec ops to round up traitors. It will be more of a “police action” than martial law.

Things have gotten really weird when small government conservative are wanting a dictatorship. Really guys, martial law is a terrible idea. That’s the path to Trump getting Mussolinied. This kind of thing never ends well.

Martial law not needed. We are in a de facto state of war with China. That’s what will be used.

State of war doesn’t suspend transitions of presidency. Especially when we’re NOT in a state of war, not by any legal definition.
