ChatGPT actually did a nice job of answering my question. tl;dr is that the amendment contained language making it applicable to people born on or after the date it went into effect, so would not have applied to him. What a horribly unjust situation.

The statute cited in his citizenship case clearly states that it's retroactive to December 24, 1952, which would mean the reduced parental residency requirements should've applied to him. I don't understand why the courts get to simply ignore that part of the law. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

The code they used to federalize the NG in this case *requires* orders to go thru the Gov. It’s not optional. They didn’t, ergo they’re not lawful, ergo the Adjutant General is required to refuse. Obviously this would cause a shitstorm, but here we are

My thinking is that federalizing the NG places them, including the Adjutant General, under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ, which very explicitly requires military members to refuse unlawful orders. Not doing so can bring serious consequences.

No specific domain expertise beyond growing up around the military. Dad and step-dad were both 20-year vets. Also spent time in the Reserve myself.

Would cutting the governor out of the chain of command not make Hegseth’s order unlawful, thereby *requiring* CA’s Adjutant General to refuse the order under the UCMJ?
