Are you a moron? If he didn't declare the IA active while he was still in office, when would he have done it? Use your brain. People would not have flown off the handle if he enacted the IA while he was still in office, because that's exactly what they did. He didn't HAVE to tell us, or anyone else, if he followed the rule of law to enact it. Which he did. What makes you think they would have started killing each other immediately?
