Posse Comitatus
-------------------------------------------
What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?
The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.

Trump had no authority to call up the National Guard, or deploy them in order for Nazi Pelosi to turn them away. Trump did not do that. He OFFERED National Guard troops to Pelosi, and she rejected the offer.
