Could Article I. Section 10 of the US Constitution interfere with that scheme?
"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty
of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace,
enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State,
or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually
invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
I'm referring to the ban against entering into any agreement or compact with
another state
without the consent of Congress.
