>Who are his real allies?
Q told us that no one made into an important position in government unless they were compromised in some manner. I suspect the majority of anons already knew this. A politician or bureaucrat might do their own thing for years without interference. Then one day, when necessary, the ones who hold their strings make them dance to whatever tune they desire. It's a fight over blackmail, essentially. All assets deployed. Sleepers activated.
>Whoever writes this stuff and who actually ever reads it?
Why, my Lobby would be happy to write the text of your bill, Senator. Shall we go to lunch? It's on me.
No problems with POTUS and the USMC:
Q: What authority does POTUS have specifically over the Marines?
Anon: The Marines are the only branch of service that falls directly under executive command
10 U.S. Code § 8063 - United States Marine Corps: composition; functions
In addition, the Marine Corps shall provide detachments and organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy, shall provide security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, and shall perform such other duties as the President may direct. However, these additional duties may not detract from or interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is primarily organized.
Q: Focus on the power of POTUS as it relates to the Marines.
Anon: The National Security Act of 1947, amended in 1952, specifies the duties of the USMC to include: "perform such other duties as the president may direct."
Q: Who controls the NG?
10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard in Federal service: call
Whenever—
(1)the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;
(2)there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or
(3)the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;
the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

The Posse Comitatus Act does not apply where Congress has expressly authorized use of the military to execute the law. Congress has done so in three ways, by giving a branch of the armed forces civilian law enforcement authority, by establishing general rules for certain types of assistance, and by addressing individual cases and circumstances with more narrowly crafted legislation. Thus it has vested the Coast Guard, a branch of the armed forces, with broad law enforcement responsibilities. Second, over the years it has passed a fairly extensive array of particularized statutes, like those permitting the President to call out the armed forces in times of insurrection and domestic violence, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331-335. Finally, it has enacted general legislation authorizing the armed forces to share information and equipment with civilian law enforcement agencies, 10 U.S.C. §§ 371-382.
The legislation contains both explicit grants of authority and restrictions on the use of that authority for military assistance to the police federal, state and local particularly in the form of information and equipment, 10 U.S.C. §§ 371-382. Section 371 specifically authorizes the armed forces to share information acquired during military operations and in fact encourages the armed forces to plan their activities with an eye to the production of incidental civilian benefits. The section allows the use of military undercover agents and the collection of intelligence concerning civilian activities only where there is a nexus to an underlying military purpose. Under sections 372 through 374, military equipment and facilities may be made available to civilian authorities; members of the armed forces may train civilian police on the operation and maintenance of equipment and may provide them with expert advice; and military personnel may be employed to maintain and operate the equipment supplied.
