A Congress Foregoing Power:The Congress shall have Power to raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; & To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces.

Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. Posse Comitatus prohibits federal troops and National Guardsmen under federal supervision from serving as law enforcement officers within the United States. The act was amended in 1956 to include the Air Force in its provisions.

The act reads, in part:"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."

Under the Act, federal troops are prohibited from performing law enforcement actions, such as making arrests, seizing property or searching people. In only extreme cases, however, the president can invoke the "Insurrection Act"
, which allows him to use active-duty or National Guard troops for law enforcement.

It is a bedrock principle of our founding fathers that the military does not get involved in domestic policing under any but the gravest of conditions. They were so much against peacetime standing armies they limited there monies to just two years.  Our current standing army did not become a necessity until the enduring Cold War. We even have a provision in the Bill of Rights precluding quartering of troops in private homes.

This reluctance to politicize the military stems from the abuses seen in Europe and domestically during the Colonial era and has been reinforced time and again by observation of the developing world, where professional militaries are the only trusted institution and not infrequently assume the reins of power."link"

Watch the next two video's and pray that we do not let it all happen again. Those who do not learn from the past are DOOMED to repeat it!
