"Relying upon these constitutional provisions, Congress first temporarily authorized the use of the militia to respond to domestic emergencies in May 1792. This test statute authorized the president to call out state militias in the circumstances the Constitution contemplated, but imposed strict limits on his ability to use such power. Any use of an out-of-state militia expired 30 days after the beginning of the next congressional session, and a federal judge or Supreme Court justice had to sign off on the president’s factual determination that circumstances warranted a resort to military force.
President George Washington followed these procedures to the letter in putting down the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. But when Congress made the delegation permanent in 1795, it removed the judicial certification requirement, giving the president authority to decide when to call in state militias to respond to domestic crises."
