Donald Trump is wrong on constitutional grounds when he says he has final say on plans to resume normal life in the states, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said. But, he said, the president will have no fight with me.
I will not engage in it, Cuomo said Tuesday at his daily virus briefing, after the leaders traded barbs earlier over Trumps statement Monday claiming the ultimate authority.

During Mondays White House news conference, Trump declared that when somebodys the president of the United States, the authority is total and said the White House would provide a legal justification for that assertion.
At Tuesdays news conference, Cuomo offered a history lesson. This was the first battle: Do we want a king or do we want a president? Cuomo said.
He went on to quote founder Alexander Hamilton, who wrote that, The state governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the national government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments.
