Mr President, forget the report and just move forward with crossing the Rubicon by using the Insurrection Act and NDSP 51. Clean house, arrest all the traitors, and execute them.

Abraham Lincoln did this in 1861, several centuries before the September 2018 EO.

The September 2018 EO doesn't require the report to use its enforcement powers.

Trump was vested with the powers to save this country when the constitution was written, the EO is irrelevant.

The rule of law doesn't matter period, EO or not. All that matters is forcd and Trump's willingness to use it. Him and us.

Lincoln acted within the constitution and rule of law in 1861 believe it or not. The constitution allows for the president to protect against enemies foreign and domestic, to prosecute treason, to subdue rebellions and tyranny in state governments. It isn’t even a stretch, the entire republic was designed as a reaction to tyranny and oppression from a king.
