The EO also states that the President and his Secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy, and infrastructure inside the United States as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The EO also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill “labor requirements” for the purposes of national defense.

Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the EO does not only apply to National Emergencies and times of war. It also applies in peacetime.

Good Job You Dumb Fucks. :goodjob:

That is nothing new, the president had that authority since World War 2. Congress is there for a reason and if any president steps out of bounds they can limit his power and, this is why we have a check and balance system.

Im guessing you missed that Obama declared he will not seek Congressional approval for ANY military action.

You're missing the point that the executive branch has done this before, but he still needs congressional approval to declare war and to get financing for the war.
