Could Trump do anything so egregious that some in the military will say enough and arrest his ass?

5. Something like overruling an officer and putting a soldier/sailor in the Brig

That might do it.

9. What authority does the military have to arrest someone let alone the president

Despite Trump we’re not a banana republic and shouldn’t aspire to becoming one

11. Military

The military have sworn an oath to the Constitution, NOT the President. With that said, the situation would have to deteriorate considerably for any possible action by the military.

18. Members of Congress, governors, mayors, state legislators, city council members all swear an oath to the Constitution

Do you think the Mayor of Newark New Jersey has the authority to arrest people?

10. Military

I think if for example troops open fire or physically assault peaceful demonstrators, some high-ranking officers who command actual units may get together and secretly devise a plan to detain Trump and his cabinet. The key to any action would be centered on secret deliberations and discussions among commanders, isolated action would most likely fail.

[TomSlick]

12. The military has no authority to arrest a President.

Nor do we want it to.

[onenote]
