President Donald Trump says that he plans to sign a decree aimed at demanding an identity document during the elections across the country.
Trump made the declaration on social networks on Saturday evening, saying that he was also looking for other reforms on how the American elections take place.
“The identity of the voters must be part of each vote. No exception! I will make a decree for this purpose !!! In addition, no postal vote, with the exception of those who are very sick and the distant army. Use only paper ballots!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump had previously attempted to impose an identity document of voters via an executive decree earlier this year in a wider integrity action.

Kollar-Kotelly argued that Trump did not have the power to make such an order, as The Constitution Delegate control of electoral regulations at Congress and States.
“In accordance with this allocation of power, the congress is currently debating the legislation that would affect many of the changes that the president claims,” wrote Kollar-Kotelly, a person appointed by Clinton. “No statutory delegation of authority to the executive management authorizes the president in the short circuit the deliberative process of the congress by decree.”
Nevertheless, forcing voters to provide proof of citizenship remains very popular among the Americans, according to a Gallup survey taken just before the 2024 elections.
