4 U.S.C. § 103 — Assent to purchase of lands for forts

submitted 79 years ago by ch. 389 to r/title-4-FLAG-AND-SEAL-SEAT-OF-GOVERNMENT-AND-THE-STATES · 45 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section lets the President ask a state's legislature to formally consent to a past federal land purchase for building forts, arsenals, or similar structures — even if that consent was never obtained when the land was bought.

This section is not split into lettered parts. If the federal government bought land in a state to build forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, or other needed buildings, but never got the state legislature's consent for that purchase, the President can ask that state's legislature to give its consent now.

The President of the United States is authorized to procure the assent of the legislature of any State, within which any purchase of land has been made for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings, without such consent having been obtained.
