This is not what the party stands for and basically nobody believes in it.

The Commerce Clause could probably be used to do so, but that is in Congress's power, not the Presidents.

Please identify for the class what part of the Constitution the Commerce Clause is located in.

And do so without looking at Post 23.

Let's fact check this first:

  • Does he factually have the power to re-open any or all states?
  • Didn't he call for a national closing of all states already and there are states that won't go to lockdown?

i know what you're getting at. You're naive if you think Congress won't exercise it though.

I don't recall making any statement as to whether or not Congress would attempt to act. This topic is with respect to the power of the executive.

This is also discounting potential conflicts within the realm of federalism jurisprudence that would otherwise tie the hands of the federal government here.
