The House of Representatives on Monday voted to let Tennessee become the first state in the nation to sue the federal government over refugee resettlement on the grounds of the 10th Amendment.
The 10th Amendment states that the federal government possesses powers only delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution and that all other powers are reserved for the states.
The move comes as a result of the chamber's 69-25 vote on a resolution that directs the state's attorney general to sue the feds.
