Violations by the Trump Administration

Administration Action Why does this violate the Constitution? Notes
Signed an executive order that forces states to adopt proof of citizenship requirements to vote, remove people from voter rolls, and share election data with the federal government. Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution states “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations…” State election law can only be changed by an act of Congress.
