Who holds the football then or makes Military decisions?
I believe Pete Gaynor, the head of FEMA and as of last week, also the head of Homeland Security (which I believe directs the National Guard) will take the lead in such a scenario.
Wow didn't realize that. I knew FEMA has almost unlimited powers during martial law just thought a President was always intended to be over FEMA. Thanks for the info. Keeping the Faith : )
Fact: FEMA has the authority to suspend the constitution when a state of emergency is declared. They are subject to NO ONE under such conditions.
Fact: The President has NO POWERS other than those given to them by the Constitution.
Fact: Pres. Trump declared a state of emergency on Jan. 11, 2021 in the District of Columbia.
You do the math.
Thanks for the clarification makes sense to always have a clear line of authority. Now begs the question who will that be assuming Biden is out
Is Gaynor one of the good guys? Sorry, getting ready to explain all this to my mom
