Governors Pledge to Oppose Federal Overreach — Even when Their Party Runs Washington
The National Governors Association said states should use public criticism, legal challenges and funding decisions to defend sovereignty against federal action.
- Earlier this month, the National Governors Association updated its internal federalism principles for the first time in over a decade to protect state sovereignty against federal overreach from Washington.
- The policy specifically addresses National Guard deployment following President Donald Trump's actions last year to send troops into Democratic-leaning cities, which sparked major concerns about state sovereignty.
- Under the new guidelines, the President should seek consent from Governors before deploying the National Guard, while states may decline to use resources enforcing federal laws.
- Vermont Republican Gov. Phil Scott and North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein led the effort, emphasizing that governors must protect the Constitution's balance of power regardless of party control.
- Governors plan to remain vigilant about power sharing between Washington and the states, ensuring locally driven solutions across the 50 states rather than aggregating power in one body.
