3. IS this an unusual move or standard operating procedure?

It seems odd to me given trump is the Commander of the DC NG.

11. Trump could have delegated it

but otherwise, unless the President is unavailable for some reason, that decision resides with the President. Pence very well could have exceeded his authority.

5. FINALLY.

6. Why hasn't he been overruled?

UNCLEAR??????

Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard on Wednesday, defense and administration officials said. It was unclear why the president, who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order.

Where is he, what is he doing, why does he still have any powers?
