Yes, but then you can only hold power by force as well. You have no mandate other than power. Half of the populace will view you as illegitimate as well as the other party, including state governors. It's basically untenable in a country this large with federalism.
I don’t disagree. It’s challenging and faces numerous hurdles. But modern states have been conditioned to accept absolute federal rule. It’s not inevitable, but it’s also not impossible.
We’ll see.
