Supremacy clause?
If they wanted to limit the marriage definition to federal laws, they would have said "Marriage under the laws of the United States," not "in the United States."

I'll see your Supremacy clause and raise you a 14th amendment. Under your approach, Art. IV, Sec. 2 obviates the 14th amendment, sec 1, p&i clause. And I'll also toss in a 15th and 19th amendment. I hope you'll see my raise with the incorporation doctrine, because that seems more likely to get you where you're going, even though either phrasing seems to result the same--the laws of the united states are still supreme, no?
