James Polk President 1845-1849 won the Mexican War of 1848 and extended the US to include Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, W Colorado and Nevada. For $15M.
Abraham Lincoln President 1861-1865 won the Civil War of 1865 and ended slavery in the US for $2.6B.
After 1865, the US Constitution with limited government was ignored. The limited powers of the federal government did not allow the government to own land beyond what it needed to function. No amendments were approved to allow federal land to expand to 30% of the US landmass.
An
amendmnt may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or,
if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that
purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures,
or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.
To fully restore the US Constitution, Amendments would need to be proposed, passed and ratified by the States. If the Amendment to allow national parks, federal forests and other lands faisl to be ratified by the States, Federal land beyond what is needed to function would be returned to the States to sell and rent useful properties and improve tourist sites. This would allow states to permit drilling, mining and privately owned forests that would be properly maintained by the owners.
