This spring, a team working under the president's son-in-law produced a plan for an aggressive, coordinated national COVID-19 response that could have brought the pandemic under control. So why did the White House spike it in favor of a shambolic 50-state response?

Which part of the Constitution would it violate?

The same part that says mandatory seatbelts and car seats are unconstitutional....oh, wait...


Those are actual laws passed by the legislature.

A mandate from the president is not a law.

Terrible. But that’s an undercount of 40,000 deaths.

There is no federal mask mandate today, July 22. Still no mask mandate.


...because each state was given control over shutting down schools, issuing stay at home orders, etc., including issuing mask mandates.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/21/europe/masks-debate-us-europe-asia-intl/index.html
Yet masks remain a divisive topic in the US. Arkansas on Tuesday joined at least 39 states that now have some kind of mask requirement, but states including Florida and Arizona are leaving it to local officials. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is suing Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms over the city's mask mandate.

...and herein lies the problem...federal gov't is basically leaving each state to govern themselves.

If the CDC told the states to issue mask mandates, they would.

Blathering about the constitution is missing the point.
