if martial law is instated right before an election, who decides who the next president will be?

There aren't enough active available soldiers in the US military to begin martial law. They're overseas in dozens of countries, and the Police won't enforce a "martial law" if the people protest, but then most are sheeple and would just go to their homes as ordered.

Seventy per cent of our military would NEVER fire on an American citizen under martial law, so they had to bring in foreign troops, who wouldn't mind a chance at it.

You're right, which is exactly why the UN will be asked for assistance.

Regardless of who does or doesn't enforce martial law, the fact of the matter is that at that time, people don't have rights. There would be no election. The president is the president indefinitely.

If the UN sent Germany to the US to confiscate weapons, would we be criminal to fire upon them?
