Trump Doesn’t Rule Out Declaring National Emergency to Restrict Voting

During a Monday night interview on Real America’s Voice, host Wayne Allyn Root suggested President Trump declare a national security emergency to impose photo ID requirements, citizenship proof, and mail-in ballot restrictions without congressional approval, ahead of the midterms.

Trump did not reject the idea, responding, “stranger things have happened.” Legal experts note the Constitution’s Elections Clause assigns control over election rules to state legislatures and Congress, not the president, and no president has ever used emergency powers to alter federal elections.
