National Guard Living In Parking Garage In Democrat-Run D.C.: ‘We Feel Incredibly Betrayed

[JonC]

Governors can't send troops to other states unless the Governor of other states requests them. And that can be denied by the Governor.

The Defense Department, or the President can request. But the Governors can deny.

If the President 'federalizes' the Guard, then the Governor does have a say still. He, the President, can't federalilze and use the Guard against another state or for use in another state. Posse Comitatus Act. Even then, Governors still have a say. In 1980 Reagan sought to send the National Guard into Central America. Several Democratic Governors refused.

In 2020 several Democratic Governors refuse Trumps call to send troops, National Guard, to the states where rioting was taking place. And the Governor of Illinois warned Trump that no troops should be sent to his state.

In 2018, Governors of 8 states would refuse or recall Guard troops sent to protect the Border Wall with Mexico.

In other words, I am proud of Governor Abbott of Texas in recalling the Guard. In Hind sight, he never should have sent the Guard. Hopefully, these are lessons learned.

I agree he never should have sent tge National Guard. For one thing, it was not needed. For another, they already had all the resources they would need. It was just a Dem political move.

I honestly do not know how anyone could align themselves with the Democrat Party and be a repentant Christian.

Lets see - in 2019 I voted for a Democrat for Supervisor (same as a Mayor) -
So am I a repentant Christian?

ONE Final time to Clarify:
Presidents CANNOT call up State Guards (aka Defense Force, military reserve, ect) Which comes under Title 32

Presidents ARE authorized to call up the NATIONAL Guard and use them in any State or Commonwealth as well as overseas as he sees fit.
see this link: 10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard in Federal service: call

As far as the Posse Comitatus Act. It does NOT apply to the Coast Guard OR the National Guard! The Posse Comitatus Act > U.S. Northern Command > Article View

If you think that the info I have posted - is incorrect - then post a valid link that so indicates. But we need to stop incorrect info. Jon has well presented the actual facts!

Also, matters changed with the passing of the Dick Act aka the Militia Act of 1903.
