Article IV, Section 3.

BTW, what you posted up is the Enclave Clause, which applies only to land transferred from a state to the feds and has no bearing on these lands that were always owned by the fed and never belonged to a state govt.

Thanks.

But, in what way has this land been “always owned by the feds”? Was it not part of the Territory of Utah, which the feds “disposed” of by accepting it in to the Union?

Thanks again, by the way.

Thanks to you I discovered the “searchable” Constitution computer file I have been relying on had somehow recently been corrupted.
