Can he legally do this, or is it up to the individual states??
Trump suggests he may impose quarantine

You can be stopped at state lines for various reasons so I imagine you could ban travel between states but not city by city. It's not something the president could just do though. If he's worried about the economy that would be one of the last things he'd want to consider. It's inept thinking.

Its totally up to the governors. Maybe he is trying to pretend he knows what he is talking about.

GFYS .... he’s doing a great job and you liberals are the ass wipes !
And what did your lover Obama do ??? A big nothing burger !
And not a PEEP out of you bitches !
No, it is the individual Governors decision
Since you seem to like acronyms, how about BMFA!....)
If you ever (and that's a big IF) get past your racism and ridiculous childish "trump lust", you might see things more rationally. tRump inhereted a booming economy. Not the pretend depression economy that you trumpanzees would like everyone to believe he inhereted.
What you dont seem to understand is that tRump laughs at you too.......)

So after bitching that he isn't doing enough, now your bitching that he's going to far? Your TDS might be terminal, go see a Dr.
I watch his incoherent and rambling CV press conferences and am continually stunned about his massive ignorance and ineptness. Then he leaves and the grownups take over.

Stupid fucking turdlicker. This is his history. When he should be using his authority in a leadership role, he comes up short. More often, he has abused his authority. IMPEACHMENT!
This is his first real crisis and your incompetent, incoherent, lying piece of shit hero fucked the pooch

Your kind wants small government when a Democrat is in the WH, otherwise you couldn't care how much power the Feds take for themselves. In this particular case, its the individual state and governor who decide, not the Liar in Chief. Now go read the constitution sweetie.

What am I missing here? According to the responses ITT this idea is inept thinking and up to the Governors, not the federal government/President. So why is Biden proposing it?
Joe Biden calls for a national lockdown to contain the coronavirus
Former Vice President Joe Biden is calling for an immediate nationwide stay-at-home order to contain the spread of the coronavirus, saying the main mistake that leaders can make in a pandemic is "going too slow."
The Democratic presidential candidate told CNN on Friday that he agreed with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates that the uneven patchwork of state and local lockdowns in effect in the United States will inevitably cost lives and prolong the economic catastrophe.
"Why would we not err on the side of making sure that we are not going to have a repeat?" Biden said from his home in Wilmington, Del.
President Trump has urged Americans to practice social distancing but has declined to issue a nationwide stay-at-home order, leaving it to governors and local officials to decide whether to shut down nonessential businesses. He said this week that he'd like to have the country "opened up and just raring to go by Easter," which is just over two weeks away.
Biden said he'd watched Gates' appearance on CNN on Thursday night and found him "really insightful." "I thought Bill Gates knew what he was talking about."
Biden's hourlong town hall on CNN was part of a series of television appearances in recent days to keep himself in the news as Americans are consumed by the upheaval of the pandemic. It came as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, his lone remaining rival in the race for the Democratic nomination, was holding an online forum with healthcare workers.
Biden has built an all but insurmountable lead in the race for delegates and is trying to pivot to the general election without angering Sanders or his supporters.
Gates, a philanthropist whose family foundation has spent billions of dollars to curb the spread of malaria, AIDS and other diseases, told CNN on Thursday that the coronavirus will keep spreading out of control "anywhere you don't have a serious shutdown."
“We’re entering into a tough period that, if we do it right, we’ll only have to do it once for six to 10 weeks," he said. "But we have to do it. It has to be the whole country.”
For the lockdown to be effective, Gates said, a dramatic increase in testing for the virus is essential.
“It’s exponential growth if you’re not stopping it," he said. "The sooner you engage in the shutdown, the easier it is to get to that peak. We have not peaked. The parts of the country that aren’t shut down, in late April we should see the numbers peak there.”
Biden, who took questions recorded by viewers in their homes, faulted the Trump administration for eliminating a National Security Council directorate at the White House that was charged with preparing for a pandemic. Trump has said he knew nothing about it.
"I just don’t think he has taken this seriously from the outset,” Biden told CNN.
Biden also criticized Trump for feuding with some Democratic governors. Trump said Friday that he told Vice President Mike Pence, who leads his coronavirus task force, not to call Govs. Jay Inslee of Washington or Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, adding, "I want them to be appreciative."
"Do your job," Biden said sternly into the camera. "Stop personalizing everything.”
Responding to a question from a New Yorker who said he'd just lost his job on Broadway and couldn't pay his rent, Biden said he would support a three-month suspension of rent. "Freeze it and forgive it so you’re able to stay in that place,” he said. “No one should be evicted during this period. Period.”
Biden also called for a nationwide freeze on shutoffs of water or electricity for delinquent bills. "The vast majority of people who worry about their utilities being shut off," he said, "are people who are living hand- to-mouth."

I understand...you try to hang in there then....
Why do you feel the need to use inappropriate language? Is that a frustrated Idahoan-D thing?
