While governors have latitude to use their states’ #NationalGuards to respond to #CivilDisorder or major disasters, a post-Civil War #law called the Posse Comitatus Act generally makes it a #crime to use regular federal #troops for domestic #policing purposes.
However, an 1807 law called the #InsurrectionAct creates an exception to that ban. It grants presidents the emergency #power to use federal troops on domestic soil to restore law & order when they believe a situation warrants it.
