   That is the legal mechanism. How he does so isn't relevant. He could   
   announce it on TV.. He could sign a decree, he could have letters mailed   
   out.   
      
   HOW he does so is irrelevant, that he can DO so is all that is necessary.   
      
   § 44-80. Order in which classes of militia called into service.   
   The National Guard, the Virginia Defense Force, and the unorganized militia   
   or any part thereof may be ordered into service by the Governor in such   
   order as he determines.   
      
   § 44-85. Regulations and penalties.   
   Whenever any part of the unorganized militia is ordered out, it shall be   
   governed by the same rules and regulations and be subject to the same   
   penalties as the National Guard.   
      
   § 44-86. When ordered out for service.   
   The commander in chief may at any time, in order to execute the law,   
   suppress riots or insurrections, or repel invasion, or aid in any form of   
   disaster wherein the lives or property of citizens are imperiled or may be   
   imperiled, order out the National Guard and the inactive National Guard or   
   any parts thereof, or the whole or any part of the unorganized militia. When   
   the militia of this Commonwealth, or a part thereof, is called forth under   
   the Constitution and laws of the United States, the Governor shall order out   
   for service the National Guard, or such part thereof as may be necessary;   
   and he may likewise order out such a part of the unorganized militia as he   
   may deem necessary. During the absence of organizations of the National   
   Guard in the service of the United States, their state designations shall   
   not be given to new organizations.   
      
   § 44-87. Manner of ordering out for service.   
   The Governor shall, when ordering out the unorganized militia, designate the   
   number to be so called. He may order them out either by calling for   
   volunteers or by draft.   
      
   § 44-88. Incorporation into the Virginia Defense Force.   
   Whenever the Governor orders out the unorganized militia or any part   
   thereof, it shall be incorporated into the Virginia Defense Force until   
   relieved from service.   
      
   § 44-89. Draft of unorganized militia.   
   If the unorganized militia is ordered out by draft, the Governor shall   
   designate the persons in each county and city to make the draft, and   
   prescribe rules and regulations for conducting the same.   
      
   The mechanism is there but the specifics of how the governor, or President   
   does so it largely left up to how they chose to do so.   
      
   See the mechanism is basically left up to the person calling out the   
   unorganized militia to decide on depending on the conditions and needs for   
   each case.   
      
   I will just note that if you fail to appear because you assert there is no   
   mechanism..   
      
   § 44-90. Punishment for failure to appear.   
   Every member of the militia ordered out for duty, or who shall volunteer or   
   be drafted, who does not appear at the time and place ordered, shall be   
   liable to such punishment as a court-martial may direct.   
      
   Go ahead Rudy, claim to the court that you're innocent because you couldn't   
   find the mechanism for notifying you in the law.   
      
   Somehow I suspect you have a lot of exercise being in prison.
