It gives the President the authority to make this kind of proclamation!

Oh, wait, there is no Article IV. And Congress sets its own rules ... per the Constitution.

Look, I'm not a lawyer but at least I've taught high school civics, which goes through the Constitution line by line, then each of the amendments then significant SCOTUS (and other) cases from the 1790s to the 1980s.

But hey, this is Texas, I'm sure other states do a much better job with their required civics/government class for seniors.
