The real problem is the fact that we have things like the "executive order". The executive order did not exist pre-civil war, which was not about ending slavery, but about ensuring the presence of a central banking authority.
Our United States is not the same as the one in the original Constitution, composed of voluntary States, but is founded upon General Orders 100 (a.k.a The Lieber Code), and most especially upon General Orders 100 Article 2:
"Martial Law does not cease during the hostile occupation, except by special proclamation, ordered by the commander in chief; or by special mention in the treaty of peace concluding the war, when the occupation of a place or territory continues beyond the conclusion of peace as one of the conditions of the same. "
There has never been a "special proclamation, ordered by the commander in chief" or a "treaty of peace concluding the war", and all laws since then have been based upon this form of "martial law", and not the Constitution we have been taught about.
