the powers of the governor. the governor shall not call up the national guard without the approval of the executive council.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Hampshire's governor to obtain the Executive Council's approval before deploying the National Guard. Currently, the governor has sole authority to call up the National Guard without needing the Council's consent. If approved by voters in November 2026, the amendment would change the state constitution to mandate this approval process for National Guard deployments. The measure directly affects the governor's executive powers and the Executive Council's role in military decisions.
