From the article:

“In the aftermath of the bitter battle over the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in the 1940s, Wyoming received an exemption from the presidential power of the Antiquities Act.

Under Title 54 of U.S. Code regarding American Antiquities, "no extension or establishment of national monuments in Wyoming may be undertaken except by express authorization of Congress."
