Hi , how are you ? Would you like to talk about our similar problem ? <| sep |># Article I , Section 10 Compact ClauseNo State shall , without the Consent of Congress , lay any Duty of Tonnage , keep Troops , or Ships of War in time of Peace , enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State , or with a foreign Power , or engage in War , unless actually invaded , or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay . nbspSo the idea that this compact would ever be legal without Congressional approval is simply not true . Not from a legal standpoint , and certainly not from a practical standpoint because even if they made a valid argument than the Compact Clause shouldn ' t apply , Congress would simply invoke it ' s old friend the Commerce Clause and block it that way .
