If this is an issue, then if the Deputy AG posti s created, my recommendation would be to ensure that they have access atleast and thus give us a repeat of what we had with Talleyrand, two weeks ago.

A good, specific question. Smiley The answer is, yes. Article IV, Section 3, as I understand it, deals with this in two ways. 1) While regions are generally autonomous they must yield to federal law, which is the highest "law of the land," and 2) powers not specifically dealt with or spelled out by federal law may be relegated to the regions. So yes, the regions are bound by federal law where it is specific, including certainly eligibility requirements.

Your use of the word "may" troubles me? Does that mean there are no regional powers that the federal government cannot usurp, if it so decides to do so?
