Did we not go through this before, the DC national guard are Directly under the President’s Authority..
No governor or mayor have that Authority ???
Mayor Bowser requested the activation on Dec. 31 and the request was approved Monday by the acting defense secretary, said a senior defense official. Unlike other states' National Guards -- whose activation is controlled by state governors -- the responsibility for the D.C. National Guard falls to the Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, who then must have the decision approved by the defense secretary.
Not correct.
What happens during a natural disaster? Doesn’t the governor of the state activate them?
