@MortgageHorn has his thinking cap on today - buckle up!
So in addition to my earlier post that only President Trump can order all the troops to DC
AND
He is the only one that can enact Homeland Security to enact or change Levels of the Continuity of Government (COG) plan
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT (COG)
Continuity of Government (COG) was created to insure that the United States government will be able to function in case the government as we know it cannot due to an attack such as a nuclear attack (why it was created) and or some other occurrence which would make our "normal" branches of government unable to function.
First, let's rule out an immediate nuclear threat - one DC meaning Congress, Cabinet, POTUS, and SCOTUS would have been exfilled - two if they thought DC was going to be under attack nuclear/chemical/biological they would NOT bring in 30,000 troops standing around just to get nuked or attacked biologically or chemically.
Second, we can rule out a Conventional Attack - Canada isn't going to do shit and there are 3 Carrier Battle Groups on East Coast to prevent any kind of D-Day invasion of DC - our satellites would see that coming from thousands of miles away!
Third, the "normal" government must be in a position where it cannot function for COG to takeover the function of the US government. Basically being at war is not enough - that's why during Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan COG was not implemented - the "normal" government as we know it continued to function without INTERRUPTION.
So ask yourself, what if it's not nuclear, biological, chemical, or conventional war would cause an INTERRUPTION where the "normal" government could not function?
Let me answer that for you...
Well if several members of the House, the Senate, maybe a SCOTUS justice or two, cabinet members were arrested for TREASON.
At that point the "normal" government could NOT function until new elections of house members, appointments of Senators by Governors were completed.
At that point the current POTUS Donald J Trump could activate COG and the nation would basically be under martial law until order and a functioning "normal" government were restored.
Is it a "Hail Mary" - you're Fucking-A right it is!
But at this point that's where we are in the game.
And I know just the guy that is like this Captain America that can complete that pass!
Oh Yea It's Habbening!!!
