Original Note:
National Guard troops are under the authority of State Governors. The President cannot dispatch them without a Title X activation putting them under Federal command and even then there are rules such as Posse Comitatus that apply. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1385 https://www.justsecurity.org/70482/the-president-the-military-and-minneapolis-what-you-need-to-know/
