The Christian Post website reports that Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann -- who officially announced her run for U.S. president today (June 27, 2011) -- said that if she were elected president, she would support a federal constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman, thereby overturning New York's new law legalizing gay marriage.
The Minnesota congresswoman said the "federal law will trump state law on this issue."
"States have, under the 10th Amendment, the right to pass any law they like. Also, federal officials at the federal level have the right to also put forth a constitutional amendment," said Bachmann.
