Martial Law in the US. Alpha-Zero   Author:  41708  Category:(Discussion) Created:(3/8/2003 8:56:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (382 times) The United States has been under martial law for 143 years. President Abraham Lincoln declared martial law when the Civil War broke out. He was killed before he was able to remove military rule. No president has ever removed martial law. What does this mean? That the military can say it is now running the country. It is perfectly legal for them to do that, with or without reason. This means that they can tell us what to do. If we don't do it? They can shoot us. If we do it? They can shoot us. The Commanding General of the Armed Forces of the United States of America can legally set himself as a dictator. I, for one, wish that Bush would sign an Executive Order nullifying Lincolns order for Martial Law.
