Authority to call out the Guard

[James48]

1. Update- found this-

Upon further review, it turns out Congress approved, back in 1968, authority for the President to send troops to Chicago and to Baltimore. (And several other places in the 1960’s). That is STILL ON THE BOOKS!

Here- from section 254:
“ Proc. No. 3841. Obstruction of Justice in the State of Illinois Proc. No. 3841, Apr. 9, 1968, 33 F.R. 5497, commanded all persons engaged in violence in and about the City of Chicago and obstructing the enforcement of the laws to cease and desist therefrom and to disperse forthwith.

Proc. No. 3842. Obstruction of Justice in the State of Maryland Proc. No. 3842, Apr. 9, 1968, 33 F.R. 5499, commanded all persons engaged in acts of violence and obstructing the enforcement of the laws in and about the City of Baltimore to cease and desist therefrom and to disperse forthwith.

Wow- so the legal authority he’s going to claim is that old 1968 authorization!
