Mlle. Zabzie Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Just now, DMC said: If the Capitol Police are incapable of doing their jobs, for whatever reason, then the National Guard needs to step in. To me the National Guard (which would be from VA and MD, and I THINK under the auspices of their governors? not sure, does anyone know?) are different than the Federal military of which the President is CIC. I know the National Guard can be federalized in certain circumstances, but I would think this isn't/shouldn't be one of them? I dunno. Someone here know?

Well, looks like its going to need to be VA or MD's national guard (DOD controls DC's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabzie said: Honestly, if Pence had any courage whatsoever, he would convene the cabinet, invoke the 25th and arrest Trump (not sure that actually all works out legally and Pence would NEVER, but want it to be a possibility) This is the preferred route, but I think it's too late. Who knows, maybe he's doing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a DC National Guard and its authority is exercised through the Secretary of Defense. Time to see what side Christopher Miller is on.
