Nowhere is the president granted the power to regulate elections.<\/p>\n<p>Yet through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/03\/07\/executive-order-on-promoting-access-to-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Order 14019<\/a>, President Joe Biden has ordered federal agencies to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/23\/yes-biden-is-hiding-his-plan-to-rig-the-2022-midterm-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">engage in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blms-charity-status-at-risk-due-to-solicitation-of-funds-to-elect-democrats\/\" title=\"BLM\u2019s Charity Status at Risk Due to Solicitation of Funds to Elect Democrats\">overtly political activities<\/a><\/a> that will affect elections, while violating the Constitution and federal law in the process.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The bad news is this executive order brings the threat of federal election interference to every state\u2019s doorstep. And with the countdown to 2024 well underway, time is running out to stop Team Biden\u2019s scheme. The good news is Congress and the states can stop the threat if they work together and work quickly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In one of his first acts after taking office, Biden signed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/03\/07\/executive-order-on-promoting-access-to-voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Order 14019<\/a>, titled \u201cPromoting Access to Voting.\u201d His order commanded every federal agency to use taxpayer-funded resources to engage in voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. These are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/time-is-running-out-for-congress-and-states-to-defuse-bidens-election-takeover-bomb\/\" title=\"Congress and states must act quickly to prevent Biden's election-takeover bomb.\">overtly partisan activities reserved<\/a> for political parties, not government.<\/p>\n<p>Through food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, and other welfare programs, federal agencies have the resources and ability to target millions of potential voters across every state in the country \u2014 potential voters whose information is required to enroll in these programs and who are statistically more likely to vote Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>The order went even further by requiring agencies to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2023\/06\/07\/exclusive-demos-aclu-among-voter-advocacy-groups-helping-federal-agencies-turn-out-vote-on-bidens-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">third-party groups<\/a>, hand-selected by the White House, to engage in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-election-worker-details-voter-fraud-investigation\/\" title=\"Arizona Election Worker Details Voter Fraud Investigation\">voter registration activities<\/a> on federal agency premises.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>To date, the administration has refused to disclose the full details of the agencies\u2019 plans to carry out this order, nor has it disclosed which groups the White House has approved for special access and taxpayer-funded resources to carry out their mission.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But Team Biden has a big problem. The executive order is illegal. State attorneys general, with the help of congressional allies, can work together to stop this scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Using the power of the courts, state attorneys general should sue the Biden administration seeking a permanent injunction barring agencies from carrying out Executive Order 14019. There are at least three legal claims they can make.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Biden\u2019s executive order violates the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/52\/subtitle-II\/chapter-205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/5\/706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Administrative Procedure Act (APA)<\/a>, as the executive order directs all agencies to assist in registering voters whether or not they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/52\/20506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legally authorized to do so under the NVRA<\/a>, which goes beyond the statutory authority of these federal agencies that have been neither explicitly authorized under current law to register voters nor designated by the state to do so.<\/li>\n<li>The executive order violates the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitution.congress.gov\/browse\/article-1\/section-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">elections clause<\/a> of the Constitution, since the order commands executive agencies to engage in activity that affects the time, place, and manner of elections without statutory authority to do so. It infringes on the constitutional rights of state legislatures to regulate elections with limited oversight from Congress. Even if the administration could point to a federal statute clearly granting it the secretive, unbridled power over elections that it is seeking to exercise through this executive order, such a delegation of power would be unconstitutional regardless. The powers at issue here, outlined in the elections clause, are clearly legislative powers. Congress cannot delegate powers that are strictly and exclusively legislative, even if it wished to.<\/li>\n<li>The executive order violates a federal law known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/31\/1341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anti-Deficiency Act<\/a>, since it requires agencies to expend funds that Congress never authorized these agencies to spend. The Anti-Deficiency Act strictly forbids this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are certainly other legal claims that can be made, besides the three outlined above. A lawsuit requires only one.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can Congress do to help?<\/p>\n<p>Besides advancing legislation to cut off the funding needed to carry out this executive order, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budd.senate.gov\/press-releases\/budd-colleagues-introduce-bill-to-stop-bidens-use-of-federal-agencies-for-partisan-politics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sen. Ted Budd<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/tenney.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/congresswoman-tenney-introduces-promoting-free-and-fair-elections-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rep. Claudia Tenney<\/a> have done in recent weeks, Congress should use its subpoena and oversight power to gather evidence, including sworn testimony and documents that can be shared with state attorneys general to help strengthen their case. Not only would this help aid a lawsuit, but it would also draw attention to the executive order and discourage the overzealous execution of the order by unaccountable political appointees and bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<p>Such evidence might include specifics on what the agencies are doing in the states to carry out the plan, a list of the third-party groups the White House has approved \u2014 or disapproved \u2014 for the special advantages the executive order affords, and the amount of funding and other resources being used to carry out this effort.<\/p>\n<p>Through this executive order, the president is abusing the power of his office and using taxpayer-funded resources to transform federal government agencies into get-out-the-vote machines for the left. It is a ticking time bomb threatening the integrity of the 2024 presidential election. And it\u2019s up to the states and Congress to work together to stop this unprecedented scheme before time runs out.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the regulation of elections, overstepping the constitutional boundaries.
