Unconstitutional wars? Are you referring to the lack of Declarations of War since World War II? —or— Are you referring to the lack of will on the part of the Congress to hold the President accountable to the Constitution since 1945?

Gary Allen: The present day National Guard is the militia. The transfer of power was completed with the passage of the Militia Act of 1903, aka the Dick Act.

Joe Trusty: If the troops weren’t involved with unconstitutional wars, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Given our nation security needs, years ago I recommended regularizing the reserves and national guards and reforming the national guard for its original purpose. Of course, in the current federal financial climate, what national security organization will we have after all these cuts being proposed?

I think the Guard under the state’s command was something different than the NG. I think the NG were always under the Feds from day one. They just too the place of the other being I think was the Posse Comitatus, no?

The National Guard was never supposed to leave the Continental United States. Executive orders has violated the Constitution in other ways too. We need to stop all Executive Order for all of the U.S. Presidents as there is no Constitional basis for them. In other words, they are illegal.

Technically AND Originally the Militia was, to quote the people who wrote the original law, anyone from 15 to 45 who was capable of using a firearm and the ONLY reasons that a person could be disarmed is due to treason or rebellion.

The Dick Act of 1903 put the National Guard under control of the Federal Government when they were re-organized and took the title of the “Organized Militia” which the Constitution does state can be controlled by Congress which can be found in Article 1 Section 8 clause 15 and clause 16

Technically, the National Guard is extra-constitutional, as it was created by an Act of Congress in 1903. Originally, states controlled their own MILITIAS.
