Maxim of Law: "Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt" (The law aids the vigilant, not those who sleep on their rights)."Salus populi suprema lex esto"(The safety of the people is the highest law)."Latin: Qui non obstat quod obstare potest facere videtur"(He who can and does not prevent, commits).Under the U.S. Constitution and federal law, the president holds the authority to override a governor's control over the militia in certain situations. Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution establishes that the President is “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.” This grants the president control over state militias when federalized.
The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. § 251) allows the president to deploy militias and military forces to “suppress an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” when local authorities fail to enforce the law. The Act states, “Whenever there is an insurrection in any State against its government, the President may, upon the request of its legislature or its governor... call into Federal service such of the militia.”
10 U.S.C. § 252 provides the president authority to enforce federal laws when “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or rebellion” prevent enforcement by judicial proceedings. If a governor fails or is corrupt, the president can act without state approval.
10 U.S.C. § 253 allows the president to intervene when “constitutional rights of citizens are being deprived, and the state authorities are unable or unwilling to protect those rights.” This reinforces presidential power if governors fail to uphold civil order.
The Militia Clause (Article I, Section 8) gives Congress the power to “provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” In extreme emergencies, the federal government can mobilize militias under presidential command.
Conclusion
Public Notice to the American People and the President of the United States:
In light of potential governance failures, this notice informs The People that under the U.S. Constitution (Art. II, Sec. 2; 10 U.S.C. §§ 251-253), the authority exists to activate state Militias when local authorities (or the US Military) are ineffective or corrupt. Therefore, It becomes incumbent upon the US Militia to uphold the rule of law and protect constitutional rights by any justifiable means necessary.
