Washington DC is a special case. I think.

But certainly the President can use troops to put down insurrections.

Well, DC is not a state, so I would imagine there is no national guard. They have to use the military.

Didn't Eisenhower use federal troops to quell unrest after Brown vs. Board of Education?
