I think the point is that murder is handled by the states, not Congress. This is about what the federal government can do, not all government.

Murder can be federal crime if it involves:

  * the murder is of a federal judge or a federal law enforcement official

  * the killing is of an immediate family member of a federal law enforcement official

  * the murder is of an elected or appointed federal official

  * the killing is committed during a bank robbery

  * the killing takes place aboard a ship at sea

  * the murder was designed to influence a court case

  * the killing takes place on federal property

This is the question I'd love to see asked to people running for President. Name something you think the States can do that the Federal government is prohibited from doing.
