I think Pelosi doesn’t have the power to do an end run and force Alaska to take the stimulus, this will probably end up in SCOTUS.
The Tenth Amendment states:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Therefore, the governors cannot be forced to take the money. However, I doubt the perfesser of Constitutional Law residing in the White House has ever read it in entirety. As for San Fran Nan...can she even read???
Just wondering being that Clyburn slipped that provision into the bill that a states legislature can overide a govenor on the stimulus. Doesn’t that intrude in on states rights and leave the bill open to challenge if necessary up to the supreme court?
