Tried that already, didn't work...

@Pat @rlamacraft well aside from that being completely unconstitutional...

Roovevelt did it. Carter did it.

The commerce clause gives congress the power to regulate it, if it crosses state borders.

@Pat @rlamacraft kind of like when they just up and decided to start stealing everyone's gold?

The takings clause prohibits that.

FDR did a lot of stuff that was unconstitutional. He was the closest thing the US has ever had to a king.

This is why we have the 22nd Amendment.
