What President Trump can do that's unique is he has the authority that was already provided by Congress many times, many, you know, back at the start of the founding. The militia acts provide for calling forth the militia. He can call all of us up and us veterans until age 64.

The President can call up the National Guard and call us up as the militia and we'll go suppress the insurrection. So he could call forth the militia, which include the National Guard and all of us, as the militia, to suppress the insurrection. He could call us up as the militia of the United States in the federal service right now and deploy us on the border, even if the governor of California doesn't want you to go. The president could call us up as the unorganized militia under federal statute right now. There's the organized militia as the National Guard, and then under federal statute, the unorganized militia as the rest of us. And so President Trump certainly could call us up. To go and execute the laws of the union and suppress the insurrection by the radical left and to repel the invasion down the border. He could do all those three things by calling us up. So even though the states have not formed militias, which they should, the president can call us up as the militia. He can also call us up as the militia.
