The US Constitution provides the President with the power... to guarantee each state in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each State from insurrection and domestic violence.

See: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiv 

Article 4, Section 4 of the US Constitution follows:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion, and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence. "

The Insurrection Act of 1807 and the Emergency Powers Act of 1976 as amended provide broad-ranging powers to the President ... powers that expand -the President's Constitutional Powers to put down insurrection and domestic violence... by providing Congressional approval for the use of the US Military under specific conditions.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act#Emergency_po...

"Congress has delegated at least 136 distinct statutory emergency powers to the President, each available upon the declaration of an emergency. Only 13 of these require a declaration from Congress; the remaining 123 are assumed by an executive declaration with no further Congressional input."

Those Governors who attempt to stop the President's use of military force under the Insurrection Act of 1807, Emergency Powers Act of 1976, and the US Constitution, need to understand that the US Supreme Court has ruled such use of the military is permitted where the State's refuse or are unable to guarantee the safety of the public... Such emergency powers were ruled constitutional during the civil rights movement and for use during natural disasters.
