Take a deep breath. Now release. Okay, feel better? Now go back and re-read my posts. Where did I refer in part or whole to the Posse Comitatus Act?

Post #37:

Order the military to guard the US border? Why, that would be too much to ask the president to do. Oh wait. Didn't he order the military go around the world to Iraq and Afghanistan. oops.

Posse Comitatus prevents the President from using the military to guard the border. It is Congress's responsibility to amend or repeal it. It is up to the state's individual Governors to call up the NG if they deem it necessary. Bush has no control over this.
