Section 7

The National Guard is part of the federal military reserve, trained and equipped by the United States. States may coordinate the daily activities of the Guard, but it remains under the authority of this Charter.

The President may take control of the Guard to defend the nation, enforce this Charter, or protect the Rights of the People, as allowed by this Charter.

No Governor or State may use the Guard to resist or undermine this Charter. If that occurs, federalization shall be immediate and mandatory.

All Guard members must swear the same oath to the People and this Charter as all other members of the federal military. That oath overrides any conflicting orders from officials acting outside the law.
