The 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
It says that any powers not specifically given the Federal government by the Constitution belong to the states unless those powers are prohibited by the Constitution.
Things that the courts have ruled belong to the states are education, health care, medical matters, and the regulation of commerce within the state. Regulation of interstate commerce is reserved for the federal government. Law enforcement also belongs to the states unless the crime crosses state lines, in which case the Federal government(FBI or Justice Dept) has jurisdiction.
The system we have which allocates powers between the Federal government and the states is called "Federalism." Unfortunately, Jojo Biden has been out of law school so long that he has completely forgotten that the President does not have authority over everything. He infringes on state laws almost every day. That's one reason he is facing 36 states who are suing him.
