In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act forbids the use of the United States Army, and through it, its offspring, the United States Air Force, as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress.
According to the Associated Press, Clinton won 487 counties nationwide, compared with 2,626 for President-elect Donald Trump. There are rules to the contest, and Trump won fair and square. The rest is just noise and sore loser whining. If she wants, Hillary can go be the governor of California, or President of Saudi Arabia.
If there's one thing Trump's Ohio counties share (besides the economic gloom that afflicts most of them), that common factor is feistiness. In 1992, independent presidential candidate H. Ross Perot drew 21 percent of Ohio's statewide vote. Perot drew a bigger-than-statewide percentage in 20 of the 33 Trump counties. And in 1968, American Independent race-baiter George C. Wallace drew 11.8 percent of Ohio's statewide presidential vote. Five of this year's Trump counties were among Wallace's top 12 Ohio counties, including Clermont, next to Cincinnati. Clermont County gave Wallace 24.2 percent of its 1968 presidential vote â more than twice Wallace's statewide percentage in Ohio that year.
