New CNAS Report "Stress-Testing State Power: When Governors and Presidents Diverge on Matters of National Security"

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) released a report titled "Stress Testing State Power: When Governors and Presidents Diverge on Matters of National Security," which examines the tensions that arise when state and federal leaders have conflicting views on national security issues. The report, authored by CNAS experts, discusses how these conflicts can manifest in areas like immigration, environmental policy, and responses to pandemics. It highlights historical and potential future scenarios where state actions could undermine or challenge federal authority, potentially leading to legal battles, policy paralysis, or even public safety risks. The report calls for clearer legal frameworks and better intergovernmental communication to manage these conflicts effectively, emphasizing the need for both cooperation and a clear delineation of powers to ensure national security is not compromised by internal discord.
