How does Congress control the national guard?
Congress and the President. Duh.
How does Congress control the national guard?
That's a very misleading take.They certainly have the capability, they just didn't use it on 1/6.
Two factors here:
1. DOD waited over three hours to approve deployment of the DCNG after help was urgently requested by Capitol Police.
2. The acting Sec'y of Defense tied the DCNG's hands behind their backs. Despite that, order was restored shortly after the DCNG showed up.
You owe the DCNG an apology for misrepresenting their efficacy. They did their job, once the DOD allowed them to do it.
Nice strawman using the word CONTROL. Typical chump .
The Sergeant at Arms who works directly for the Speaker of the House can request the National Guard. They don't CONTROL the National Guard, but the National Guard would not refuse the request.
CC is trying to blame Pelosi for DOD's up
I'm not re arguing 1/6. The capital police requested National Guard assistance BEFORE 1/6 and were refused by the Sgt. at Arms because of "optics".That's a very misleading take.

Yep, just another gaslighter.
Do the citizens of DC have the representation that those counties have?
D.C. wouldn't be abolished, of course, only reduced in area, with the bulk becoming a state.
Madison's Federalist writings aren't Cons utional law, none of them are, nor is the Dec of Ind
Madison's idea of DC failed as DC was not fortified, and the Brits burned it down in 1812

Why not?
This is a stupid argument. There were originally 13 states, and the rest where called something else. Under this silly argument, none of them should've become states.
But, there's nothing uncons utional about it either. The US Cons ution clearly addresses how to deal with the expansion of the Union as more States join.
Yeah you were. You said the National Guard didn't do the job. That's false.
Superseded by the DOD memo of Jan.4th posted here. An earlier request would have made no difference.
I said no such thing.
That memo was in regard to the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA request for help with traffic control. Totally unrelated to Congress and the Capital. Try to keep up.
Remember when you said that cows don't fart and then you said you never said that?
I vividly remember clarifying the remark for ignorant illiterates like you.
Lol. "Illiterate". You're the one that said, "Cows don't fart". When literally, they do. You've never admitted your were wrong in that original statement.
All you had to do is say you were ignorant and that I helped educate you.
I am not playing this game. I have explained it to you multiple times and you are still too stupid and illiterate to get it., so off, dumbass. your schtick is getting old and tired
Lol...you've never explained it. You just decided to start posting facts instead of what you thought was right. My guess is you actually did some research once you were called out.
But yeah...you're not playing, "this game".
Throw Puerto Rico into the deal for symmetry and I'm in.
Izzat so?
I wasn't aware riot shields, batons and helicopters were standard National Guard issue for "traffic control"

How odd is it that the DOD would be dictating “traffic control” to the National Guard don’t you think? And what a coincidence that the order came two days before the riot.
what facts. CC is straight gaslighting and making stuff up.
jeez. Read up please. DC in advance requested national guard support to help with traffic control, at metro stops, etc. They were given 350. They were unarmed. That is what the memo specifically referred to...the rules for those 350 guardsmen assisting the DC police. Read the first paragraph of the memo that you posted.
