or national emergency.
He could have formally declared one.
GOVERNOR of LA is a she.
She did not do ANYTHING until the President told people to get out.
WHAT is so hard to understand about this?
My unit was activated at the STATE level for a blizzard back in 97-98.
Though we were all technically activated, only four of us were put to use.
But it was a STATE level activation due to the blizzard.
Fast forward to 9/11.
In response to that, at the STATE level, members of my unit were activated.
Are you seeing a pattern here yet?
The responsibility to activate troops was not on the President, it was on BLANCO and she did NOTHING.
I re-read your post, and as follows:
"When not activated for war, the governor acts as the commander of troops in his or her state. " -Me
NOTE, I said GOVERNOR.
"He could have formally declared one." -you.
NOTE, subject is GOVERNOR.
Governor is a 'she'.
What is unclear to you?
