Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faced criticism after incorrectly citing a non-existent constitutional provision while criticizing President Donald Trump\u2019s choice to send federal troops to Los Angeles amid ongoing riots. Pelosi mentioned \u201cArticle 10, Section 12046\u201d of the Constitution, asserting that it barred the president from activating the National Guard without the consent of a governor. However, the U.S. Constitution comprises only seven articles. It is likely that Pelosi intended to refer to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, which delineates the president\u2019s authority to federalize National Guard troops. Legal experts clarified that Title 10 permits the president to do so without needing a governor\u2019s consent\u2014a power that was previously utilized by President Lyndon B. Johnson during the civil rights movement. Critics pointed out that Pelosi\u2019s interpretation is at odds with established law and Supreme Court precedent.<\/p>
