He claimed the argument would compel voter ID for the midterm elections regardless of Congress, and he <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >advocated restricting mail-<\/a>in ballots to specific exceptions (military, disability, illness, or travel) while emphasizing citizenship verification. Trump urged Republicans to make voter ID a constant point in their speeches and insulted Democratic leaders as \u201chorrible,disingenuous CHEATERS.\u201d He suggested he might use executive power to implement voter ID if Congress does not act and warned that delaying measures could empower Democrats and influence the Supreme Court, framing the issue as one that must be fought promptly.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump vows to present &lsquo;irrefutable&rsquo; legal argument to require voter ID without Congress<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2504964\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> said he would present an &ldquo;irrefutable&rdquo; legal argument to require <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/voter-id\/\">voter ID<\/a>, whether or not Congress would back him.<\/p>\n<p>In two posts on Truth Social, Trump criticized Democrats for their opposition to voter ID, claiming it was because they were looking to &ldquo;cheat in Elections.&rdquo; He claimed he had &ldquo;searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject,&rdquo; and that he would be presenting the &ldquo;irrefutable&rdquo; argument in the near future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4457705\/trump-pushes-michael-whatley-north-carolina-senate-fort-bragg\/\">Trump pushes Michael Whatley&#8217;s North Carolina Senate bid during Fort Bragg troop visit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4457621\/wes-moore-skip-governor-meeting-trump-debacle\/\">Wes Moore to skip national governors&#8217; White House meeting after Trump dinner debacle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4457572\/trump-says-involved-dhs-funding-talks\/\">Trump says he&#8217;ll be personally involved in DHS funding talks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!
