He's got a point.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 prohibits the federal government from owning or controlling any property other than the 10 square miles that make up Washington, D.C., and ports and forts.
Constitutional Scholar KrisAnne Hall spells it out in this video....
It says exercise like legislative control over all places purchased by consent of the legislature. What if the government didn't purchase the property but instead owned the land before the state was created? And what if as part of their enabling act the state gave up all claims to federal property within its borders? That land would still be the property of the federal government to do with as they wished.
Can’t thank you enough for posting Kris Anne’s video and making us familiar with her Excellent instruction about the US Constitution and limits of Federal power.
Her videos in my opinion are a must see.
Thanks for the link.
