President Trump has deployed National Guard troops to Washington D.C., Portland, and Chicago — a show of force that raises questions about presidential power and the limits of the law. Chris Cuomo examines how the Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 were designed to separate military authority from civilian law enforcement, and why those boundaries matter now.

Cuomo explains how these laws evolved to prevent political misuse of the military, why modern presidents have avoided invoking them, and how Trump’s approach tests that restraint. He argues that using military power as a political tool risks normalizing force where policy and persuasion should prevail — a shift that could alter the balance between authority and democracy in the United States."
