No, but he has ability to withhold federal government funds, apparently. Why haven't we figured out yet that allowing the federal government to send money to state and local governments (which are taxing authorities themselves) ends in political blackmail. Why didn't we stop doing this decades ago. Why is it still legal? The answer, of course, is political corruption.

Where in the Constitution is this Authority to use funding Blackmail, and that locally spent funding, on items that are local, like schools, should flow first to Washington D.C. and then back to the states?

I don't think any such Authority exists in the Constitution.

I am not saying your statements are claiming such an authority, I am agreeing with you, that the assumed authority is simply government corruption.

This is the type of creep which will eventually destroy a Constitutional Republic.

This is a problem which needs SCOTUS repair.

Not that complicated. All congress has to do is pass a law making it illegal for federal government to send money to states for any reason other than to buy something. It would go a way toward restoring states rights and putting decision making closer to the people. Every single time federal government sends money to a state it is acting outside its appropriate goal which is to provide national services.

But we cannot make any progress toward those goals until the Radical Leftie Democrats and the RINOs are voted out of office!

I didn't say it was easy. I said it was not complicated. For the federal government to bribe states to change their laws is one of the deepest forms of government corruption we have. I wish the states would refuse all federal money. In the long run it would provide more benefit to them than the money. But politicians don't deal with the long run.
