So the federal government can control state Guard? Doesn’t the state governor still have higher control? Or authority?
No, the feds can take over the “Florida National Guard”, a state militia would be free from fed interference.
Yes. The president can federalize the NG to 1) stop an insurrection 2) enforce federal law.
Otherwise the governor is the CIC of a states NG. It’s done by an agreement between the states and the federal government. That’s why Austin threatened the OK NG to revoke their guard status making them a state militia. That’s because they’re refusing the jab mandate (which is illegal). Technically I think a governor can revoke this from the state side. However it probably goes to an individual states laws regarding whether that governor could do it unilaterally or would need approval from the state legislature.
I think desantis is making an entirely new force that is state controlled from its inception.
