Please cite the section in the Constitution authorizing the President authority over Federal lands, waters, and territories.While I agree with your point, unfortunately the precedent was set by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase.

Actually a land grab, this action goes way beyond the 200 mile limit and links up Hawaii and Midway as a single US entity? No?
