So what authority does POTUS have specifically over the Marines? And can the National Guard work with the Marines?
President Trump is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
If ANTIFA Strikes on Saturday November 4th which is what they are promising (Full Moon BTW), perhaps the President can?

Goofy question!
He’s commander in chief.

The same authority he has over all the other branches. He’s the Commander In Chief.
The National Guard is formed out of state units but are under the umbrella of the federal government too. Normally they are commanded by the state governors, but the feds can mobilize them also and then they are under federal control.
