Texas Governor Sues Joe Biden, Reminds National Guard Biden is Not Commander in Chief

Ann

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) is suing Joe Biden’s administration over the military vaccine mandate.

Abbot took the opportunity to remind the Texas National Guard that Joe Biden is not its Commander in Chief.

The lawsuit filed by Texas, states that 40 percent of the force is refusing to get the vaccine and also asserts that Abbot is in fact the Commander in Chief of the Texas National Guard.

The caveat is that the National Guard only becomes federalized only when the president calls them into duty.
