Few realize how much power the Insurrection Act gives a president.In today’s episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell discusses an article by journalist Adam Lynch that highlights expert concerns over the dangerous loopholes in the Insurrection Act and former President Trump’s renewed threat to invoke it. Former senior government lawyers Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith warn that the Act grants a president broad authority to deploy military forces domestically—even against U.S. citizens.They point out that during the Biden administration, several attempts to reform the Act failed. Now, with the current Congress aligned with the president, meaningful legislative action appears unlikely. However, both experts caution that if American troops are used recklessly or harm civilians, the resulting public outrage could spark long-overdue reform and reshape how executive power is exercised in times of crisis.🎙 From Passionate World Talk Radio Network — where real conversations matter.
