HB229 requires an official declaration of war for the activation of the New Hampshire national guard.
The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed HB229 on January 4, 2024 by a vote of 187 to 182. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this would nullify unconstitutional federal deployments of the National Guard. A congressional declaration of war is constitutionally required to enter into a foreign conflict or for another constitutional reason, in accordance with Article I, Section 8, Clauses 11 and 15, of the U.S. Constitution.
