Is the U.S. living in martial law?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

NO! Martial law is when there is a major disaster and all military personnel are called up for duty by replacing the local police force. They have full control over everything and they can and will kill anyone who is not in compliance as they see fit. This is NOT happening in America, so the answer is: while martial law can be instituted in the US at any time the inaugurated president sees fit, as of right now we are not living under martial law.
