In a 60 Minutes interview, President Donald Trump was asked what he meant when he told troops in Japan, "we'll send more than the National Guard." He pointed to the Insurrection Act, claimed "no judge can even challenge you on that," and said he hasn't used it only because he hasn't felt it was needed.

This past Tuesday, while speaking to American troops in Japan, you talked about U .S. cities that are having trouble with crime. And you said, if we need more than the National Guard, we'll send more than the National Guard. What does that mean, send more than the National Guard? Well, if you had to send in the Army or if you had to send in the Marines, I'd do that in a heartbeat. You know, you have a thing called the Insurrection Act. You know that, right? Do you know that I could use that immediately, and no judge can even challenge you on that, but I haven't chosen to do it because I haven't felt we need it. So you're gonna send the military into American cities? Well, if I wanted to, I could. If I wanted to use the Insurrection Act, the Insurrection Act has been used routinely by presidents. And if I needed it, that would mean I could bring in the army, the Marines.
