    LISTEN UP PEOPLE THIS IS A BAD, UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILL THAT ELIMINATES POSSE COMITATUS WHICH MEANS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 132 YEARS THE PRESIDENT CAN USE THE MILITARY TO ARREST AND HOLD INDEFINABLY US CITIZENS. IT WAS FIRST WEAKENED BY BUSH IN 2007 AND TRASHED BY OBAMA IN2012. BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL LAW .

    The original provision was enacted as Section 15 of chapter 263, of the Acts of the 2nd session of the 45th Congress.
    Sec. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress ; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment[7]
    The text of the relevant legislation is as follows:
    18 U.S.C. § 1385. Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus
    Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
    Also notable is the following provision within Title 10 of the United States Code (which concerns generally the organization and regulation of the armed forces and Department of Defense):
    10 U.S.C. § 375. Restriction on direct participation by military personnel
    The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure that any activity (including the provision of any equipment or facility or the assignment or detail of any personnel) under this chapter does not include or permit direct participation by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity unless participation in such activity by such member is otherwise authorized by law.

    WE NEED TO DEMAND THIS BILL BE REPEALED AND POSSE COMITATUS BE REINSTATED . HE HAS THE FBI AND THE FED. MARSHALS, THE STATES HAVE THE NATIONAL GUARD HE HAS SAID EVEN IF ITS IN THE BILL HE WOULD NEVER USE IT ON US CITIZENS IF SO WHY IS IN THE BILL. OUR REPRESENTATIVE ARE SLOWLY TAKING AWAY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE SWORN TO PROTECT AND WE NEED TO SET THEM STRAGHT. a8901076b1502841863cf1841a1c8141_500
