§ 22-2721 Governor may recall warrant or issue alias.

If you're facing extradition to another state, the governor plays a key role in the process by issuing an arrest warrant. This rule gives the governor the power to change course after that warrant is issued.

Specifically, the governor can cancel (recall) the original warrant if they decide it's no longer needed or appropriate. The governor can also issue a brand new warrant (called an alias warrant) if the situation calls for it. This might happen if there were problems with the first warrant or if circumstances change.

The key point is that the governor has flexibility here. The decision to recall a warrant or issue a new one is left up to the governor's judgment, whenever they believe it's the right thing to do.
