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.

You are being disingenious. Nowhere in the Posse Comitatus Act is the word borders mentioned. I asked you twice and I'll ask you again:

Are the borders considered international territory or not?

Your love of President Bush is seriously eroding your judgement.
