Good thread by @steve_vladeck on a president's power to send in troops for the domestic law enforcement purpose of quelling rioting. It's not true he can only do so if a governor requests it (§251 of Insurrection Act); he can also unilaterally (§252-253). uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title10/subtitleA/part1/chapter13&edition=prelim @steve_vladeck/1266752508577435649
