Oh - I urge you to read this thread from about 650 to wehnever it peters out for you. There are lots of links, discussion, and presentation of both sides of the contention that the President has the power to wrest control from the governor.

In other words, the answer to the question you ask was probably presented just a few pages back. RTFM. YMMV. ;-)

I've been trying to keep up with the thread.

I just had not heard discussion concerning "National Guard at 9/11" before I made my post. If it was a repeat, sorry.
