Since the official title of the bill is "Washington, D.C. Admission Act," the article should reflect that and should have the title renamed to "D.C. Admission Act." Redirects should also be created. TechnicusFatuus ( talk) 22:47, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
It says "owing to the District's status, the President of the United States is commander-in-chief of the National Guard, whereas in a state the commander-in-chief is the state's governor." which is mostly true under normal circumstances, but is not the full story. The thing about the National Guard in the US is that it is subject to being put under federal control without the consent of the state government. [1] In other words, the President can make himself commander-in-chief of a state's national guard even if that state doesn't want that. That rarely happens, but it can happen, like if there is an emergency that the state governor is not properly dealing with or something. That is why there is a distinction between the United States National Guard and a state's State defense force. JMM12345 ( talk) 05:45, 18 April 2021 (UTC) JMM12345
