This is not a policy disagreement. This is not a gray area. This is not a novel constitutional question. This is flatly, outright, unquestionably unconstitutional. The framers could not have been more clear. Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution places the times, the places, the manner of federal elections in the hands of the states. not in the hands of the president, not the White House, not in executive order. There is no clause in the Constitution, all law on the books, none, that allows a president to commandeer state election systems. (00:49–01:02)
