The US Constitution states that any power that the Constitution does not expressly give to the federal government or does not expressly deny to the states belongs to the states or the people. The Constitution does not say that the President has the power to purchase land on behalf of the country. Pres. Jefferson defended his action by stating that since the Constitution gives the federal government the right to control federal land, it naturally follows that the federal government has the right to acquirefederal land.
