Why Does the Administration Use the National Guard to Wage War?

Californian: “It is the general impression that in case of a war the National Guards cannot be called upon to leave the State, and such was the case until recently when Congress passed a law enabling the president to order any company to any point. The reason for this power being delegated to the president was to permit the mobilization of troops at the upcoming Omaha exposition where it is expected 250,000 soldiers and militiamen will be assembled. However, while the guards may be ordered into actual service, the chances are that they will be kept in reserve for home protection in case of war and will constitute an army of defense.” --February 21, 1898
