Yes, per the following language from the Constitution:
“...purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings.”

That language is pretty specific. Didn’t see much about national parks or land taken by fedzilla to sell at bargain basement prices to the Chinese or Saudis, did you?

So you would not have purchased the Louisiana Purchase or taken territory from Mexico. Smart.

Apparently you are unaware the there are National Parks the lands of which were GIVEN to the United States by private individuals.

Nothing in the constitution says that the feds can accept such donations so we should give the Great Smokey Mountains National Park BACK to the Rockefellers. Brilliant.
