You actually aren't allowed to deploy the military on US soil. That's why the National Guard exists. It's called the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.

I thought the marines were the only division directly under control of the executive branch. POTUS does not need congressional approval to activate USMC.

That is incorrect. The Marines are not a separate organization under the command of the executive. If any branch were, it would be the Coast Guard because they technically under Homeland Security. The marines are part of the regular US military, the President does not have special powers over them.

When you say “special powers”, are talking about like the “cloak of invisibility” and shit like that?
