Friday afternoons, when no one is paying attention, seem to be Obama’s favorite time to release his Executive Orders. Last Friday, came another one; an update to an Executive Order created in 1994, the “National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedness”. The order gives the president the power to take control of all domestic energy supplies for the purpose of protecting national security, as well as, delegating greater power to each cabinet member to achieve this.
Obama’s Executive Order Authorizes Peacetime Martial Law
FOX News
Barack Obama issued an Executive Order on March 16 giving the White House absolute control over all the country’s natural resources in case of a natural disaster or during a time of war.
In the order, the National Defense Resources Preparedness Order, the President granted to himself the authority to approve the dispensing of all domestic energy, production, transportation, food, and water supplies as he deems necessary to protect national security.
Despite the national defense hurdle that ostensibly must be jumped in order for the order to take effect, the text of the document itself does not limit implementation to a time of war. In fact, the specific sections of the order make it clear that the President can take complete command and control of the country’s natural resources in peacetime, as well.
Wild Thing’s comment……
This jerk is such a dictator.
I’m wondering if come election time and things aren’t looking good for him, if a “disaster” will suddenly take place and he’ll suspend elections. Doesn’t matter if he has the authority to do it since he’s thumbed his nose at the Constitution since taking office.
One word WOLVERINES!
Could well happen, Bob. Given his past history and desire to hold on to the Presidency at all costs, it would not be surprising.
The other thought I have is, what’s to prevent him from creaating such an emergency, so that he can implment this?
Nothing, that’s what.
This is the most dangerous leader, that Our Country hs ever had. The more he realizes that he may be on the way out the more he seeks to solidify his position, with Un-Constitutional actions.
If he is re-elected you can kiss this great Nation goodbye!
Thank you everyone!!!
Now obama’s friends, the muslim jihadists, can attack America and obama can declare a national disaster and complete the building of his dictatorship. It’s all in place while our inept and self serving Congress sucks it’s collective thumb.
