Texas does not asked people to prove they are a US citizen.
Texas just requires everyone to provide their birth certificate for new Driver License and renewals.
It is called Real ID which Congress passed as law in the 1980’s for Driver License, but did provide a start date to impliment.
Not good. But if the federal legislation covering elections goes through, you can work to repair warrantless spying.
Or you could remove Johnson and hope that somebody else steps forward and proposes to fix the electoral system.
There’s nothing at bold as a republican who knows their bill has a snowballs chance in hell of passing the senate and getting signed by Biden.
He knows darn well that this will go nowhere. It won’t make it through the Senate, and won’t be signed by Biden. It probably won’t even be approved by the house. This is like hold a sucker in front of baby to get them to let go of the ball. And then not even letting them have the sucker. It is mind manipulation.
A distraction from him unleashing more domestic warrantless spying on America today. He was the deciding vote.
He is a modern day Judas, sold us out for cash.
Jeez, TALKING THE TALK but NOT WALKING THE WALK. This “legislative language” is going nowhere and is ONLY MEANT TO HUMOR US.
What intelligence did Johnson see that caused him to change his mind and vote against the amendment? If it was that serious, maybe he should give us a hint of what it is. Unless it was a glimpse of what’ll happen to his family if he votes for the amendment….
Same with the talk of what a dictator Trump will be.
I don't trust a thing johnson says from this point forward. He has been had. He is compromised.
Eric Coomer hates Trump. No Dominion voting machines.
Pointless and 50 years too late.
It will never be allowed to pass the Senate.
Only wondering how it will pass with only one more R than D, wukk the Senate pass it too, and will Pedo sign it?
Johnson is a wuss.
He’s not a young gun like PRyno, Cantor or McCarthy, He’s a Nerf gun.
I don’t know Speaker’s age..
Wisdom comes with age and the experiences of living in and thru troubles.. Time.. And learning what works and what doesn’t.
Johnson speaks as if this is easy.. A given.. It’s not!
Simplifying any of what is today.. Is not the thing to do.. Fighting with all he has, is what is needed right now.
We have millions who have invaded our land.. Biden has created so much wrong.. So much!!
No, non citizens cannot vote..
The dems will try.. They are the enemy of this nation!!
Trump stands with us.. Pray for him.
No way it passes in the Senate, most likely not in the House and Biden would definitely veto it. This is a big nothing burger,
WTF TOOK SO DAMN LONG!!!!! The DEMONIC DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO IF REPUBLICANS HAD BEEN THE CHEATERS!! YIKES!
AS long as the election process is solely within the tates as individual processes, this going to be hard to enforce. The fedeal government has nithing to do with elections other than counting the the electoral votes the sttes send to them to make sure they are the amounts the state says they are. And that’s about all they can contribute.
Although the Supremacy Clause states that the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties are the “supreme law of the land,” according to the Supreme Court, it is clear that the Constitution created a federal government of limited powers. The Supreme Court has noted that “every law enacted by Congress must be based on one or more of its powers enumerated in the Constitution.”
These limited powers are set forth as what are termed “enumerated powers” in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. These enumerated powers include, among other things, the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, establish a uniform law of naturalization, establish federal courts (subordinate to the Supreme Court), establish and maintain a military, and declare war.
There is no counting process of the state run elections other than varifying electorate declarations of the states’ counts for the POTUS and the VPOTUS.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 3:
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.
