Did President Eisenhower wait for Governor Faubus to request assistance before sending in the 101st Airborne?

Since Governor Faubus was heading the unlawful obstruction of the authority of the United States then no, he was not consulted. There is numerous federal laws that allows the president to act under those circumstances. And that is not the case in Minnesota or any other state, as well you know.

“There is numerous federal laws that allows the president to act under those circumstances.”

It sounds like you are saying there are numerous circumstances where a president can send in federal troops without the request of a governor.

This is quite different from your earlier claim: “They’re not going anywhere. They can’t be deployed unless the governor requests federal troops and he isn’t going to.”
