I am trying to remember the problem during Katrina of GWB calling out the Louisiana National Guard over the orders of the Governor. There is a law (can't remember the name of it or its exact contents) that says the federal government has to declare martial law in order for the federal government to take over the Guard.

Correct. She HAD TO ASK THE FEDS for help. Then POTUS could have sent them in. SHE could have sent them in as the state guard. But you have to have functioning brain cells to do that. She couldn’t make a decision.
