"Which article of the constitution allows the federal gov to set the salaries for private employees whether their company received cash assistance or not?"


That "where in the Constitution does it say" argument sounds acceptable on the surface, but it's nonsense.  The Constituion doesn't detail everything, it wasn't supposed to.  Where in the Constitution does it authorize the FAA, interstate highways, NASA, launching a needless war, student loans, funding veteran's hospitals, Medicare, building dams, on and on.


The premise of the original question is not legitmate.  Since the president doesn't have the authority to alter citizen's wages there is no need to have a new law written to block it.  If any president attempted it, they wouldn't be able to implement it.  The concept of that original premise was only to cast fear about something no one is considering, has ever been discussed, and can't happen.
