Imagine you are the president of the United States and you have the ability to purchase land and double the size of the US. You have always talked about how the Constitution only allows governments to do what is specifically allowed (strict interpretation) and the Constitution says nothing about buying land. Would you purchase the land? Why or why not?

No.

Explanation:

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. There are many factors to this question. By purchasing land and expanding the US by double it's size, you have people that may not agree with your decision or that idea. There could possibly be protests, riots, etc. You're also at possible risk of conflict with other countries based on their stance on your actions. An example is the 45th president, Donald J Trump, attempting to purchase a countries land. A lot of the US' own people didn't agree with that offer. Countries were at opposition to him choosing that option. Based on these factors and that example, I would not purchase the land.
