Dictators had the support of the Military to enforce their decrees. The US Military would NOT support a US President that illegally ordered them to disband Congress. As for the President ignoring impeachment unlike him Congress would have the legal right to do it and Law enforcement agencies WOULD in fact obey their order to remove him from office. The Military would not intervene to stop them.No they would not as there is NO LEGAL grounds for the action.
God, you are slow.
No shit! That is the whole fucking point.
No sane person would support them and no Government agency would obey an illegal order to disband Congress.
I disagree.
It shouldn't be that hard for you to believe. Isn't Clinton a criminal in your world?
They simply can NOT disolve the Government it does not exist for a mechanism to allow it.
Fiat.
Most dictators were elected into power. When they got into power, they dissolved the government and no one stopped them.

Wrong as usual it is ingrained in the military that one does not follow illegal orders. I spent 16 years in the Marine Corps there is no way the Military would obey a rogue president trying to disband the Congress.Dictators had the support of the Military to enforce their decrees.
This is true.
An authoritarian without authority is just a talking head.
The US Military would NOT support a US President that illegally ordered them to disband Congress.
The military follows orders. It does not exercise free thought.
The system is compartmentalized for a reason.

Your question is not based on a realistic scenario, the checks and balances of the USA system are robust.
Are you fucking serious?
Checks and balances do not matter to someone that just informally declared themselves a dictator
That you state most third world countries have a more robust system than the USA is laughable to the point it is hard for me to stop laughing at you.
I am sure the snobbish dismissal tactic will serve you well here
Anyway, your question has been answered. You are the one being delusional to believe that the president would have the power to dissolve congress.Wrong! The military follows legal orders. Many soldiers have been court martialed for following illegal orders.
Yes, we all know of your delusional faith in the rule of law
It's simply not a serious scenario in the United States.
No one is going to unilaterally cancel our checks and balances and become dictator.
The United States is probably the least likely place this could happen.
You still haven't explained how third world countries have a more robust system than the United States
Anyway, your question has been answered.

The deference between our government and that of a third world country is that ours is almost 250 years old and the powers of the branches of government are entrenched and well known.
The government of a third world country would have to be very unstable to allow a president to become a dictator by fiat.
It's simply not a serious scenario in the United States.
Conjecture.

It can't happen here, amiright?

You are trying to meander by baiting me into irrelevant side conversations.
To get you to shut up - The vast majority of this worlds 196 recognized government have at least three branches of government and a constitution. Perhaps you should be explaining how the United States has a more robust system....
No you need to explain how third world countries have a more robust system as you claimed that first.
You don't get to demand explanations when you don't explain your stupid claims first.
Hey, we have been going easy on you because this thread is in the CDZ forum. It needs to be moved to the rubber room, because that is where an American president would end up if he tried to become a dictator by fiat as you suggest. This thread is a waste of time because you are clearly living in a fantasy land.No you need to explain how third world countries have a more robust system as you claimed that first.
Yep, because that has 0% relevance to the subject of the OP, and therefore we must get into a long debate over this one irrelevant semantical detail? Okay, whatever. I will take your bait.
The Republic of China, a third world country, has five branches of government and an elaborate system of checks and balances. Yet they have mini coups within their government every year.
You don't get to demand explanations when you don't explain your stupid claims first.
Oh, really? What the fuck are you going to do about it?
I expect to get some naive comments from this sites dumbass population (all of you), but here goes nothing.
Realistically, what do you believe would happen if either Trump/Clinton declared that they were dissolving the US congress several months into their administration, and that they would establish a transitional committee to govern the country during their reorganization of congress?
Before you laugh it off, consider that this type of thing happens regularly in the third world. What I have never seen are the people that do it immediately fail in their attempt, no matter how much support or precedent there is for the ruling government.
This is your typical dictator scenario, in case that was not already obvious
Onyx, what we are trying to tell you is that he can wave a magic wand and SAY whatever he wants, but if no one LISTENS, he's going to be the one in a padded cell toot sweet.It would be all over the news. The news pundits would have a field day explaining that the president does not have such power. If the president continues to declar for the dissolution of congress, congress is likely to declare the president unstable and impeach the president for not upholding the oath to protect the constitution, The VP will take over as president.
Okay, you are not grasping the concept.
What makes you believe the president is going to accept impeachment? Were you not listening? The president just dissolved the government.

Nothing. This cannot happen; any declaration to that effect is meaningless.I expect to get some naive comments from this sites dumbass population (all of you), but here goes nothing.

The only way for any government official anywhere in the world to be successful with a coup is if most of the military backs them. Otherwise it is meaningless and almost always these derps don't attempt such a thing unless the military is also corrupt and the would be dictator promises them riches and power if they back him.
The people wouldn't stand for it for a second though. The streets would be wall to wall people from coast to coast.
