There is no governor for DC, POTUS acts in that capacity. The Mayor has control of the city itself, but like any Mayor all she can do is request the Guard. FYI, pelosi and Mitch refused additional presence for the 6th.
POTUS has the authority, he can designate that but it passes thru his hnds because it's Federal.
But this is not just the DC guard - it is from 5 different states. I live in NC and just got a message to state citizens that Roy Cooper has ordered the NG to DC - not sure how many.
Yeah, DC does not have much in the way of Guard, they have to come from other States.
Are you somehow imagining that NC Guard units are working for 'someone' in DC? Not being snarky, just trying to figure out what confuses you here.
The Guard in other States is federalized and working for POTUS, as always. POTUS can delegate his authority, sure, but he has not given it to the Mayor or Pelosi.
didn't it happen after he merged DHS and FEMA? till then it was Gov. Blackfaces NG and then we heard Senicide specialist cuomo NG as well. everybody was saying that Bowser had requested, then she put out a statement that she wanted to make it clear that she had not asked for addittional NG. so that leaves Trump thru the emergency he declared in DC.
Trump.
Thanks - I thought so but wasn't sure
Mayors/Govs in the states with NG trying to take credit or am I wrong?
Only POTUS can do that, the Mayor does not have any such authority.
Governors?
Trump is the Governor of DC
haha - It's King Roy

I've read that it was Trump himself but I am not 100% sure
Thanks

I thought it was the President, but read a few articles on this site last night that said it was FEMA. So your question is very valid my friend.
FEMA reports to POTUS so either is fine really.
