Findings

Congress makes the following findings: (1) Article 1, section 4 of the Constitution of the United States clearly demonstrates the time, place, and manner of elections lie with Congress and the States, not with the President. (2) On May 20, 1993, President William J. Clinton signed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Public Law 103–31), which was passed with bipartisan support. (3) The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 established certain voter registration requirements and does not require documentary proof of citizenship on the National Mail Voter Registration Form. (4) On October 29, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–252), which was passed on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis. (5) The Help America Vote Act of 2002 established the Election Assistance Commission, an independent and evenly divided bipartisan agency to assist States with new standards and improve election administration. (6) Executive Order 14248 (90 Fed. Reg. 14005), issued by President Trump on March 25, 2025, entitled Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, exceeds the authority of the Executive Branch, is illegal and unconstitutional, and would disenfranchise millions of American voters.
