The Prospects Of Presidential Election in January 2021-Part Five

Please review the laws that President Trump can unilaterally use to preserve the Constitutional Republic if the Vice-President and US Congress fail to do so by January 6th. In 2016, Public Law 114-328: "Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority" currently reads: Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of military personnel under federal command for law enforcement purposes within the United States.

There are Constitutional exceptions to Posse Comitatus restrictions rooted in the President's own constitutional authority. Defense Department guidelines describe "homeland defense" as a "constitutional exception" to Posse Comitatus restriction, meaning that measures necessary to guarantee National Security from external threats are not subject to the same limitations.

Insurrection Act of 1807 to address an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy, in any state, which results in the deprivation of Constitutionally-secured rights, and where the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect said rights.

10 U.S. Code § 253 - Interference with State and Federal law The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it— (1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.

In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.

Text of the 14th Amendment. Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Executive Order 18438, titled “Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election". This E.O. was issued and signed by President Trump. Since Dominion Software Systems is a foreign based company as well as Smartmatic SGO Group, President Trump could unilaterally declare the elections in any of the thirty states who used such companies to be null and void. He could use all the preceding law to invalidate those elections.

Nutshell: If Congress or Pence fail to block the electors or if the state legislatures fail to recall their electors, then Trump can on his own, without backing from any party or branch of government, impose martial law to cancel the previous election and order new elections.
