One thing to note in my chart below is that I have Congress in the center, because, as usual, all the powers the President in this arena has are statutorily granted. They could fix it *today* if they wanted to, just like with tariffs, immigration, qualified immunity, etc., etc.
Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Back when a president could be a decent human being. One even went on to build housing for the disadvantaged.
Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.
