Time for some changes post Eday 2024. Some things change; some things stay the same. Prior bio: "Jersey guy. Schooled at GW & Rutgers Law. Proud Democrat. Will always be loyal to the Mets, the Giants, & the USMNT."
Well, if by Rule, then it wouldn't be a QoP, right? Because a QoP cannot seek to effectuate an amendment to a Rule of the House? (I'm trying to remember all I learn from our exchanges!)

Does the Speaker have that by the Rules or by resolution? If by resolution, wouldn't a new resolution ("Notwithstanding House Res. _, the Speaker shall not adjourn the House for more than 3 days before consideration of...") be a question of privileges of House? Immed. precedence if offr'd by MinLdr?

Oh my! Quite honored by that. Really never thought of it being cited by anyone. Will be getting a copy of the Wayne Law Review issue with your article for my office (and well also to read it).

Congratulations! I wrote my student Note on the Gov. absence provision in the NJ Constitution, but I felt like the subject was due far more than my elementary student view. Look forward to reading your work, Professor!

So predictable. Tyler used 7 pitches. Why not keep him for another inning? Ugh.

Oh yeah, this would never happen. A majority strong enough to get this through would have easier ways to accomplish the same end than a non-germane amendment. Still, fun to think about.

I knew you would know the answer! So a (determined) House member seeking to make in order a non-germane amdt would have to: (a) get the rule through Rules; (b) pass the question of consideration if PoO is made against the Rule on the floor; and (c) get a majority to adopt the Rule on the floor?

Hmm. Could a Rule authorize consideration of an amendment that is not germane to the bill? Wouldn't the challenge to a non-germane amendment be a point of order that could be waived by Rule?

Or they need some time to get the votes.

Yeah, but how much opposition might occur in those 72 hours? Seems like they’ve calculated 15 hours of dry text over a wkend is less risky than 72 hours of notice?

As I understand it, the order issued from the Secretary of Defense to the Adjutant General of the California National Guard acting in his/her capacity as the vehicle for the Governor’s orders to NG

Agreed with Adam here. Steve’s article may be behind a paywall, but it is worth it. www.stevevladeck.com/p/156-federa...
156. Federalizing the California National Guard
President Trump's Saturday night "memorandum" federalizing 2000 California National Guard troops is a tentative step toward abusing authorities for domestic use of the military, but a dangerous one.

Sure, and Trump theoretically could’ve claimed to use the Insurrection Act here (and whoever is calling the shots chose not to). But the question is whether this specific section requires substantive consult with a state governor. Sadly, I don’t think that’s the best reading of the law

I think the alternative conclusion you’d draw isn’t workable though. Go back to 1963 Alabama. The President has to get substantive consent from Governor Wallace to nationalize the AL guard and enforce Brown v Bd of Ed?

We got some (many) problems, but McNeil is not high on the list right now. Acuña is a problem at the plate. Alvarez looks lost at the plate, too. (fixing typo)
