District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act
S 2688, the District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act, transfers authority over the District of Columbia National Guard from federal officials to the Mayor of Washington D.C. It updates federal and local laws by replacing all references to "President of the United States" or "Commanding General of the District of Columbia National Guard" with "Mayor of the District of Columbia" in provisions governing command, appointments, and operations. This procedural bill directly affects the District's National Guard structure and the Mayor's role in its management. The changes align DC's National Guard governance with its home rule status under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
