In the United States, the US president as both chief executive officer and top commander in chief, has the right to suspend various parts of the US Constitution.

There are several ways to accomplish the goal of "keeping things in order". Probably the most effective way, without making the nation a "Dictatorship" is to suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Did president Obama sign martial law on 19 March 2012?

No, this is another internet myth. The president has not declared martial law, on 19 March 2012 or on any other day. If there were martial law, you would see U.S. soldiers in the streets arresting large numbers of people and putting them in detention camps. This has not happened, nor is it likely to occur. Further, there is no evidence that Mr. Obama will declare martial law, contrary to partisan claims by some of his political opponents.
