The objection we just heard to my resolution proves exactly why this resolution that we should be debating is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that President Trump does not in fact, nationalize our attempt to nationalize our elections. … The SAVE act...would impose rigid documentation requirements, disenfranchise eligible voters, burden state election officials and do nothing...to address a problem that does not meaningfully exist. … I'm bringing out is not about that legislation. It is about constitutional limits on presidential power. No act of Congress, the SAVE act or otherwise, would give a President authority to seize control of of state run elections. (13:10–14:06)
CLAIM
