Habeas corpus is the right of a person detained by the government, to require the government to show why under the law, the person should be detained, be it by warrant or writ. No law in the United States allows the president to hand over the functions of government from himself to any component of the armed forces. All officers of the Army, Air Force, and Navy have to obey legislation regardless of the orders given to them by those appointed over them. Even if Obama could declare "Martial Law" he would no longer be president on January 20, 2017 at 1200 EST.
There is already an executive order for the government to seize those things under certain conditions...

Executive orders are not law.

Post the order.

Um I don't even know who that is...
He is a guy that hosted a radio show for the last 20 years talking about the stupid crap and made up conspiracy theories.

Anythings possible so i wouldn't rule it out. if America is attacked between now & inauguration Obama can still enforce martial law and stay in indefinitely.
Yep, like Trump being elected as president just goes to show you anyone can be president.....again maybe we have taken that idea a bit too far....you know like build a wall.... now was that to keep people out or to keep us locked in? Maybe we all need to be locked up after this election.....lol

As to the OP's question. I'm sure anyone being President of the US is happy to step down after 4-8 years of a thankless job being under a microscope for any and every little thing you do or say would be thrilled to get out of dodge and retire from the job. I mean really they usually start with regular colored hair and end up white or gray haired by the end of the term..... Obama will be happy to leave.

No, I don't believe what the government says, but I do know how it works.

I know that the prez has to find someone to obey that order.

I know with all the might the military has, it's not enough to subdue a population and geographic area this large.

"Obama has said he will not leave office if Trump is elected."

JENNI; You just posted an outright lie. Either you were not aware it was a lie or you did

Please tell me; which is it :)-

DO any of you think he will try to pull some kind of crazy crap and stay in the White House?
The only crap I see is the post above or is it just the smell and not the words?

you tell me; Ok :)-

Hmm.............

Actually, he is President ELECT.........he WILL NOT be President until in January when he takes the Oath of Office......he HAS NO PRESIDENTIAL POWERS UNTIL THEN.

Some of you guys REALLY NEED to take a refresher course on 8th Grade Civics.

The President-Elect has not officially been elected President until the Electoral College votes on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December. Since not all Electors are bound to cast their vote for the Candidate they have been pledged by the General Election, except for the States listed below the Electors could possibly change their vote.

The following States prohibit by law the Elector from their State from voting for a Candidate other than the one they are pledged to vote for;

[SUP]ALABAMA – ALASKA – CALIFORNIA – COLORADO – CONNECTICUT – DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA –
FLORIDA – HAWAII – MAINE – MARYLAND – MASSACHUSETTS – MICHIGAN – MISSISSIPPI – MONTANA
NEBRASKA – NEW MEXICO – NORTH CAROLINA – OHIO – OKLAHOMA – OREGON – SOUTH CAROLINA
VERMONT – WASHINGTON – WISCONSIN – WYOMING
