Is Michigan Going To Have A Shelter In Place Order ?

[Prepared One]

Wouldn't martial law require some legislative action over an EO? I'm fairly certain it does.

I'm also fairly certain that enforcing it will be about impossible.

The way I understand it, Martial Law can be declared by either, and yes, it should be damn near impossible to enforce.

Martial law on the national level may be declared by Congress or the president. Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 15, of the Constitution, Congress has the power "[t]o provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel Invasions." Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution declares that "[t]he President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." Neither constitutional provision includes a direct reference to martial law. However, the Supreme Court has interpreted both to allow the declaration of martial law by the president or Congress. On the state level, a governor may declare martial law within her or his own state. The power to do so usually is granted in the state constitution
