He cant because EOs only impact federal stuff. The reason why this is important in DC is because its a federal district and therefore it can be affected by EOs

He can pull funding if states aren’t honoring bruen. Like he did with DEI and citizens voting executive orders. He could also send in the army for states violating SCOTUS and the bruen decision. Remember brown vs the board of ed when jfk sent troops to ensure the will of the courts was enforced?

That was Eisenhower, and it was the national guard, not the army. Trump can’t send the army, he can send the national guard.

Oh shit how did I forget that?! Also looks like we both were partially right (I was wrong on the JFK stuff.

“In September 1957, Arkansas governor Orval Faubus called out the Arkansas Army National Guard to block the entry of nine black students, later known as the “Little Rock Nine” after the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School. President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded by asserting federal control over the Arkansas National Guard and deploying troops from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division stationed at Fort Campbell to ensure the black students could safely register for and attend classes.[52] “

So Eisenhower took control of the national guard and sent the army in! What a badass move. Same should be done to enforce bruen in the 19+ anti 2a states.

Oh that’s really interesting. I wonder the justification for deploying the army, usually I thought the president can’t do that in domestic soil

I submitted the same article 6 days ago to this subreddit, fwiw.
