What would happen, if?

[Dargil]

The American petroleum industry disregards Grandpa's executive orders, says "Lets Go Brandon" and resumes what they were doing before Brandon took office? Isn't it time for civil disobedience?

It is a nice thought but investors do not want to take a chance of having their oil well shut down by a group of Green Berets.

[jahaims]

Whatever government agency that is in charge of that would come and shut it down. Probably use the national guard if necessary.

[Dargil]

The National Guard is state-run. The Feds have no authority without authorization. What would TX governor Greg Abbott say?

[Dargil]

I don't read links.

[jahaims]

The source is Cornell law school. Just says the president can use the national guard.

[Dargil]

Sometimes. Do you think any Guardsman would fire on citizens, especially when they knew why?
The military does not attack local civilians. Any issues pertaining to federal and state and more local laws are dealt with by the police, and the police are not supposed to fire on innocent civilians.

[jahaims]

Arresting someone doesn't mean shooting them.

[Dargil]

Who has "arrest" authority?

[jahaims]

I am not going to explain it step by step. Look it up yourself or follow the link. It spells how who has the authority to do what in specific circumstances.

[Dargil]

I needn't.

[joeldalton]

Unfortunately, the government weilds too much power over the petroleum industry.

[God_of_Thunder]

Disregards which executive orders, exactly?

[Dargil]

Those regarding the American petroleum industry.

[God_of_Thunder]

Specifically?
