In response to California becoming a "sanctuary state", President Donald Trump orders a declaration of martial law in the State of California.

Name one reason why this thread should be moved to ASB board, because Trump might not do this, but then again so far the facht that he is president is already one good reason why everthing related to him schould belong in ASB, to bad it is real and thus this thread, while never going to happen can stay in the After 1900 board. |

I don't think this can be done, at all. Trump is President, not dictator, and certain perquisites would have to be met. Additionally, all members of the US Military take the Oath of Enlistment, which gives precedence to the US Constitution NOT the President. Such an action (Declaring Martial Law over California not enforcing or obfuscating enforcement of Federal Law) would not rise to the level necessary for Martial Law to be declared, and would probably be taken as an illegal order, and not to be obeyed. If the Pres. relieves the Generals, and promotes others in their place, the came cycle could happen again, but with almost certainly the same result. By this point Congress, the rest of the Executive branch is involved, and the Judiciary too. Short answer, this isn't possible The Wiki article linked below gives a quick and dirty explanation of some of the salient points.
