Insurrection Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the set of laws that govern the President
of the United States of America's ability to deploy troops within the United
States to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. The laws are
chiefly contained in 10 U.S.C. § 331 - 10 U.S.C. § 335. The general aim is to
limit Presidential power as much as possible, relying on state and local
governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. Coupled with the
Posse Comitatus Act, Presidential powers for law enforcement are limited and
delayed.

Limitation of Authority and Jurisdiction
United States Military Police are prohibited from enacting state police
powers and domestic peace officer powers under the Posse Comitatus Act, a
federal law passed in 1878. MPs may enforce certain limited powers, such as
traffic stops, on access roads and other federal property not necessarily
within the boundaries of their military base or installation. The only way MPs
are allowed to enforce law and order outside of the military realm as stated
above is when Martial Law is in effect. When combined, the Posse Comitatus Act
and Insurrection Act both severely limit and delay Presidential power in using
the military in a law enforcement capacity. This allows the state more time to
use their resources and authorities to the fullest extent, allowing for the
possibility of military involvement only when their resources have been
completely used up.
The only military branch exempt from the act is the United States Coast
Guard, as they are both military personnel and federal law enforcement officers
with full federal jurisdiction.
Although the 109th Congress attempted to extend the authority of the
military in "major public emergencies" (Section 1068 of 2006 Amendment to
Insurrection Act of 1806), the amendment was repealed, in its entirety, in
2008. Section 1076 of the amendment would have allowed the President, upon his
declaration of a public emergency, to not only station the military anywhere in
the United States, but to also take control of United States National Guard
units without the consent of the state's governor or any local authorities.
United States Senator Patrick Leahy, who enacted the legislation to
revert the act to its previous state (as it was created and intended to be in
1807), stated, "We certainly do not need to make it easier for Presidents to
declare martial law. Invoking the Insurrection Act and using the military for
law enforcement activities goes against some of the central tenets of our
democracy. It creates needless tension among the various levels of government -
one can easily envision governors and mayors in charge of an emergency having
to constantly look over their shoulders while someone who has never visited
their communities gives the orders." [4]
Posse Comitatus Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385)
passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act prohibits most
members of the federal uniformed services (the Army, Air Force, and State
National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from
exercising nominally state law enforcement police or peace officer powers that
maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states, their counties and
municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of
the United States National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law
enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly
authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the
Posse Comitatus Act.
The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act substantially limit the
powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement.
