Where in the Constitution are federal agents given the authority to campaign for a particular side in State elections?

Better yet, where in the Constitution does it give the feds the power to make any drug illegal? When they made alcohol illegal it required a constitutional amendment. I guess we're all too enlightened now for actually following the supreme law of the land, the Constitution.

I'd also like to see the part of the Constitution that authorizes his job and the power that goes with it.

It's in the classified part.

C'mon, get serious, every school child knows the part of the Constitution where it authorizes the President to appoint Czars to direct American lives.

Look it up...I think it's section Catch 22.

It's clear the power for prohibiting drugs comes from stretching the interstate commerce clause well beyond the breaking point. The thing that gets me, however, is the that "ensuring domestic tranquility" clause seems to imply that the government should be handing drugs out (or, forcibly drugging people), not trying to suppress drugs. "You! Citizen! You are not tranquil! Here, smoke some of this! It's my sworn duty to ensure your tranquility!!"
