Can President Obama send the army to enforce gay people's civil rights when applying for marriage licenses?
Marriage law is within the jurisdiction of the States and, therefore, its enforcement would be a State matter. However, the federal government can sometimes get involved when the state violates federal law. An example of a precedent would be President Eisenhower's sending Federal troops to Little Rock, AR in the 50's to enforce desegregation of the high school there.
So if the federal government ever rules in favor of marriage equality, and states refuse to comply, it is a possibility.
