[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 212320, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]I recognize what you're saying , I see the threat you're highlighting and I'm kind of feeling my way through this one. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]A presidential directive giving himself the power in a time of great crisis not clearly defined. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]It would have to be with the support of the military in order to empower the president to destroy our democracy?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]We would then have to rely on the military to recognize that the order the president is giving them would be unlawfull constitutionally if it in any way destroyed the seperation of powers?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]I wonder if the upper echelons of our military leadership is trained to distinguish between lawfull presidential directives and ones that are unlawful. i would think they are?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Would the National guard of each state then be the check against the president being able to assume total power?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Perhaps the designers of our system gave the states greater autonomy recognizing this potential threat?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]I'm not sure it would be as easy as it was in post depression germany to pull this off. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]But I agree we should be wary of any laws or directives which might tip the scales. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
