He is correct. Let each governor be responsible for his/her state and leave the Federal Government out of this.

Apparently they don’t teach civics or American history in journalism schools.

According to the media, he acted too soon because he didn’t act soon enough.

He knows more about the Constitution from that one statement than do 95% of congressmen.
To: jazusamo
The President is 100% correct. We are a Republic. We have a Consitution.
Powers not specifically assigned to the Federal Gov’t reside with each state. In effect, the Governors of the States are the President of those states in every respect except those specifically delineated to the federal gov’t.
Our President understands this and respects this. Far more than most.

The president is right. So glad Trump is the president right now.
To: jazusamo
What power under Article 2 ( or some statute) gives the POTUS the power to tell citizens of any given state to stay indoors?
To: jazusamo
So important that he's been doing this. He's done it on a lot of other subjects too: "This is up to the states, this is their responsibility, I'm just here to fill in where they fail and help out where we can."
He finds a way to work this in whenever he can. It's great to see.

They don’t teach much of anything in journalism schools.

In one area of Upstate NY positive patients are violating local and state orders. What the heck good would a national order do?

Trump’s cunning genius on display. Let the governors do their jobs per the needs of the state. Trump’s role is to lead, not dictate.
If a state succeeds fighting the pandemic, Trump wins. If a state fails, Trump wins. Brilliant.
To: jazusamo
Seems civics lessons are in order in the press briefing room prior to questioning our President.

It’s all about assigning blame. If Trump ordered it people would defy it with abandon.

Because the governors know their state.
For instance, there are states with large areas of mountains, forest or deserts where one can travel for many many miles and not see a soul.
It would be beyond stupid to treat them as Manhattan.

Not to mention that the same media talking heads who are demanding he do so would be calling him a dictator and demanding he be impeached once he did.
