Recently that little bald Nazi adviser to Donny brought up an interesting term that needs explanation….’plenary authority’….
First of all what the Hell is ‘plenary authority’?
A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations.
What is its purpose?
The purposes of the plenary is to: draw together what has been learned, to highlight the most important rather than the most recent points, to summarize key facts, ideas and vocabulary, and stress what needs to be remembered; generalize from examples generated earlier in the lesson.
What brought this seldom used term to the forefront was an interview with Herr Miller on the use of troops in American cities…..
Stephen Miller’s assertion that President Trump has “plenary authority” to deploy the National Guard to US cities has ignited fresh debate and confusion over the limits of presidential power, leaving both legal experts and the public questioning what the White House may attempt next, Newsweek reports. The White House deputy chief of staff made the assertion on CNN Monday while discussing efforts to send federal troops to Portland, Oregon, despite a judge blocking such action. His abrupt silence after making the claim led to speculation on social media, with some users suggesting he was told to stop talking, though CNN attributed the pause to technical difficulties. The network did not include the phrase “plenary authority” when it edited the video to post on social media, HuffPost reports.
Asked if Trump would abide by the judge’s order, Miller said, “Under Title 10 of the US Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before pausing, blinking, and failing to respond when the interviewer repeated his name a few times. After the show returned from a break, Miller continued, “I was making the point that under federal law, Section—Title 10 of the US Code, the president has the authority anytime he believes federal resources are insufficient to federalize the National Guard to carry out a mission necessary for public safety.” He said the administration would “abide by the ruling insofar as it affects the covered parties” but that Trump also has “many other options … to deploy federal resources and assets under the US military to Portland.” Online searches for “plenary authority” increased after the clip, WUSA reports.
Plenary authority, rare in the US, gives one of the three branches of government total control over one area (such as presidential pardons). Legal experts quickly weighed in. Matthew Mangino, a former Pennsylvania district attorney, described “plenary authority” as “complete and absolute power,” noting, “The office of the president is not endowed with it.” He added that US governmental checks and balances give Congress and the courts the power to keep a president from overstepping. Richard Painter, the former chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, clarified that while Title 10 of the US Code allows the president to federalize National Guard units in certain circumstances, it does not grant unchecked power, and significant limitations remain under the Posse Comitatus Act.
Everyone of the sycophants are dancing hard and fast to find reasons for the occupation of American cities by troops.

This ‘authority’ is not a blank check and Donny needs to be made a ware of it use and misuse.
Now you know what Herr Miller was popping off about….and trying to set some sort of legal groundwork as cover.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
They should just call it what it is, Martial Law.
Best wishes, Pete.
In other words, ‘Because I say so”
Exactly but the media walks on egg shells hoping to avoid the wrath of Donny. chuq
It will indeed be a constitutional crisis, when you see him sending troops into peaceful areas to provoke violence, therefore justifying his martial law…the key will ultimately be this: will that roomful of Generals and other Military leaders, chastised by a moronic drunk, follow illegal commands from the President…history has shown the answer to be “NO” and nothing Hegsweth has done will help change that. Let the Frump scream out orders to kill our own citizens and see how they respond
That is an excellent question and I may have an answer for you in an upcoming post…..chuq
There is no need to debate this…plenary authority controls north korea and russia and soon will conrol the usa as well…no getting around it, no escaping from it…
No debate necessary….it is already just not en trenched yet. chuq
