Original Note:
A president or a governor can activate the National Guard. Neither the Speaker of the House nor the Senate Majority Leader has the power to do so. The Capitol Police Board has the ability to make the request, it does not involve either the speaker or the majority leader. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-235651652542 https://thedispatch.com/article/fact-check-did-pelosi-reject-trumps-request-for-national-guard-troops-on-january-6/
