I know of no constitutional authority which permits the president of the United States to send in Armed Forces because he disputes the action of the state governor.>>>>>>>>>>>

As far as I know there is none and we have The Posse Comitatus Act, United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152)

But that doesn’t mean that the Commander in Chief can’t make the order and have it happen.

Who is going to stop our military? But I assume the National Guard would be nationalized as you say.

All President Trump has to do is have his Justice Department order the arrest by US Marshals of those Governors for violating the citizen's civil rights. Try them at Gitmo, sentence them to a few decades at Gitmo.

HalfWitmer first Mr. President. Please.
