come on plenty of valid challenges here to your statements come out and defend yourself instead of lurking.
You signed up today to tell us this? Your misinformed take actually? Begone idiot!
RKBA/vk present.... :) been trying to bait the sucker out.... I think he is a runner! :)
"Did you read this at all?"
Of course they didn't. It benefits them not to read it. They only are interested in fiction, not fact.

TITLE IV - MAJOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS PROCEDURE FOR DECLARATIONSec. 401. All requests for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State. Such a request shall be based on a finding that the disaster is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that Federal assistance is necessary. As part of such request, and as a prerequisite to major disaster assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate response action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information on the nature and amount of State and local resources which have been or will be committed to alleviating the results of the disaster, and shall certify that, for the current disaster, State and local government obligations and expenditures (of which State commitments must be a significant proportion) will comply with all applicable cost-sharing requirements of this Act. Based on the request of a Governor under this section, the President may declare under this Act that a major disaster or emergency exists.
Looks pretty straight forward to me...
"All requests for a declaration by the President that a major disaster exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State."
Gee, you gotta get up pretty early to be that stupid. Some days it just don't pay to get up at all.
admire your intentions but it is more than just the stafford act. ask some of the emergency folks. you also have to look a the national response plan, agreements, state/local plans and MOUs. its not that simple.
IBTZ? Finally?
nah I got it about 20 posts ago.
bttt
In before the zot!
You really need to give him (her) a break. He stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
OH, wait, that was a Motel 6. Nevermind.
5 points for creativity... :) s
Wrong. It was 1962 and the University of Mississippi. I was there as a freshman. I got tear gassed and shot at by federal marshals that had surrounded the Lyceum building (administration building). And, I had done nothing. I saw a coed take a tear gas shell in the chest when the marshals freaked. I had paratroopers camped out across the street from my dorm. I'll never forget the heavy hand of government.
PROCEDURE FOR DECLARATIONSec. 501. (a) Request and Declaration. All requests for a declaration by the President that an emergency exists shall be made by the Governor of the affected State. Such a request shall be based on a finding that the situation is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and the affected local governments and that Federal assistance is necessary. As part of such request, and as a prerequisite to emergency assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan. The Governor shall furnish information describing the State and local efforts and resources which have been or will be used to alleviate the emergency, and define the type and extent of Federal aid required. Based upon such Governor's request, the President may declare that an emergency exists.
(b) Certain Emergencies Involving Federal Primary Responsibility. The President may exercise any authority vested in him by section 502 or section 503 with respect to an emergency when he determines that an emergency exists for which the primary responsibility for response rests with the United States because the emergency involves a subject area for which, under the Constitution or laws of the United States, the United States exercises exclusive or preeminent responsibility and authority. In determining whether or not such an emergency exists, the President shall consult the Governor of any effected State, if practicable. The President's determination may be made without regard to subsection (a).
Hmmmm... the President could send in the rescuers for the NO Post Office, Federal Court Building, and maybe any military bases in the area... but they would not be allowed to do anything else... but the President "shall consult" with the effected state's governor.
I guess the MSM and the RATS had it right, it must be POTUS' fault. Perhaps you and your team should apply for a JD advisory slot as you certainly think you are an expert on Constitional law.

. . . As part of such request, and as a prerequisite to emergency assistance under this Act, the Governor shall take appropriate action under State law and direct execution of the State's emergency plan.
She didn't.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Nice to see you googling information, but unless you understand Constitutional Law, you cannot read it correctly.
Again, wrong.
