What if a state decided to mount its own aid mission to Puerto Rico? [View all]
Obviously, the assets and resources would be an enormous issue, but I was also wondering about the legalities? Could a governor sent the National Guard to a territory on his/her own authority? What about state employees?
On edit: I'm assuming the legislature would be on board with the idea.
