53. How does the fed have authority to send NG troops to Iraq?

That's a relatively new practice, but I wonder what circumstances allow for that.
Did all 50 governors approve, or is there another legal loophole in case of war?

President Jackass may be claiming we're at war with every country that has brown skinned people here.
Sounds like thin legal ICE. ...so to speak.
