The PCA follows the spirit of the Constitution if not the letter. Ill have to do some digging when I have time but the Framers thought a national police force a bad thing and were dead set against the quartering of troops.
Maybe Ill do a post next weekend. I have a long work week ahead. Its warming up in Michigan (still can be wintery as the inch of snow I woke up to will attest) and homeowners are clamoring for driveways that have been held over due to winter.
NG can be federalized under certain conditions, I believe.
But what I was saying is that the PCA is an illegal law to begin with, and as such might be ignored by the military as being null and void.
“NG can be federalized under certain conditions, I believe.”
It takes the approval of the governor, but it can be federalized. This just came up when FJB wanted to take over the Texas NG.
Wasn't it done to integrate schools in Alabama against the governor's wishes?
Arkansas too.

Military action can be done without quartering.
The philosophy behind it makes sense, but I'm just talking about the law.
