As far as this happening in the US, we do not have constitutional martial law or emergency powers clauses. South Korea, and other countries, do.



Per South Korea's constitution






Article 77

When it is required to cope with a military necessity or to maintain the public safety and order by mobilization of the military forces in time of war, armed conflict or similar national emergency, the President may proclaim martial law as prescribed by law.



Martial law shall be of two types, extraordinary martial law and precautionary martial law.



Under extraordinary martial law, special measures may be taken with respect to the necessity for warrants, freedom of speech, the press, assembly and association, or the powers of the Executive and the Judiciary as prescribed by law.



When the President has proclaimed martial law, he shall notify the National Assembly without delay.



When the National Assembly requests the lifting of martial law with the concurrent vote of a majority of the total members of the National Assembly, the President shall comply.



The bolded is why the troops are at the National Assembly

have we ever had a dictatorship in the USA? :francis:

South Korea had one until 1988.

We don't have the constitutional mechanisms to create set up a dictatorship which is how it happened there.
I hear you on that. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be shocked the words, “Trump declares martial law” or even that he might end up being a thing sometime.
