Truman tried to use such a tactic in privatizing the Steel industry during war times but the Supreme Court said that ability to seize private property even in times of war belongs to the legislator not the President.

Basically, the land owners are the biggest road block here and from what I read this will go years before a resolution, possibly past Trump's presidency.

That's actually really interesting. Eminent domain is extremely boring to teach. I usually talk about how MD tried it on the Colts franchise the next morning after they left and how the state took my great grandfather's land to build a highway.

If this plays out, it could spice the lesson up.
