Denouncing statements by President Donald J. Trump that he may "nationalize," commandeer, or otherwise assume direct control over elections.
This House Resolution denounces statements made by former President Donald J. Trump proposing a federal takeover or nationalization of elections. It asserts that the U.S. Constitution assigns primary authority over federal election administration to state legislatures and Congress, not the President. The resolution rejects any suggestion that the President may lawfully assume direct control over elections, deeming such actions unconstitutional and unlawful. Furthermore, it expresses grave concern that such advocacy undermines federalism and warns that attempts to implement such measures could be grounds for impeachment.
