The executive branch has that right. It's happened many many times in the past. I recommend reading a history book and not MSM or social media

Notably, Eisenhower did not militarize the national guard to go after groups of people who are not politically aligned. He militarized them to protect groups of people. Quite the opposite and a poor choice of an equivocal example.
