The Insurrection Act requires a request by the States' governors.
There are ways to make them request.
One day you'll learn that a President isn't a monarch.
He has more power than a monarch.
What he should do with any governors not obeying his wishes...is name and shame them in the local and global media.
"Governor ……… is solely responsible now for any businesses that are looted, smashed up, ...and buildings that are burnt down.
Any police cars destroyed, and deaths in riots.
YOU the residents will have to pay for it all."
for starters.
Worked for my no 1 radio host when he and his listeners went after the major soft drink co that was trying to deny a man his rightful compensation awarded by the court.
He told the Board he would name them and tell the public what they were doing.
They didn't listen.
Vicious tirade every morning.
They soon called a meeting, the man got his compensation, paid off his house, and lived happily ever after...as well as he could with a shot up face.
