Now don’t f**k it up, BUILD THE WALL!
And if they have to, Vance can come to The Senate when they are in seasion and when he does he becomes head of the Senate. We have had a VP head of the senate before, been a long time. Some have floated this as a possibility.Depends on who the Senate elects as majority leader.
The Trump Administration will need to come up with some way to counter the leftist activist in the MSM. I would think the best way to do that is complete transparency, having a staff dedicated to confronting MSM with truthful facts. Every lie or half truth the MSM puts out for public consumption should be crushed with facts. No more of this Trump said inject bleach, fine people BS. Kill the MSM lies with facts on their own airwaves.They have 2 years to enact enough positive change to solidify positions to avoid a ‘blue wave’ in 26
Election integrity is issue #1.They have 2 years to enact enough positive change to solidify positions to avoid a ‘blue wave’ in 26
Suspect we will hear a LOT about this after Trump gets inaugurated. They need the corrupt libs to certify the results.Election integrity is issue #1.
Proof of ID/citizenship in all federal elections would be a start.
Mandatory signature verification and make ballot harvesting illegal would be a good wrap up.
I think Trump is treating this as if everything has to be done within 2 years. Note he said DOGE will have its work done cutting government waste by July 4th, 2026. Trump told Tom Homan he only had 60 days to secure the border.They have 2 years to enact enough positive change to solidify positions to avoid a ‘blue wave’ in 26

He's committed to getting immediate results. If he can, that means they can primary any remaining RINOs in the 26 midterms, which also means they can begin to hammer through legislation the final 2 years.
How we do in the 26 midterms should tell us a lot about our chances of holding onto the White House in 2028.
EhinSad but true
This will end up in SCOTUS if he does it. The constitution puts control of elections with the states. Like it or not. This is the huge problem with EO’s. I don’t think SCOTUS will uphold this EO, no EO going to have precedent over the constitution. Congress has a role and can pass laws.

I am for it, but really dumb IMO to try doing this with an EO.
The only hope is a bill from Congress to get to the President’s desk.
And no matter how it is approached, SCOTUS will be reviewing because a lawsuit will happen.

There really are no federal elections. Even the presidential election really is 50 state elections, which is why the popular vote doesn’t mean anything in the presidential election. And the Constitution specifically says that the federal government can not tell individual states how to run their elections.Election integrity is issue #1.
Proof of ID/citizenship in all federal elections would be a start.
Mandatory signature verification and make ballot harvesting illegal would be a good wrap up.
This is also why the Electoral College will never be done away with and we will not be adopting a straight popular vote anytime soon. The Electoral College benefits/gives more say to the individual states, especially the smaller states (such as Montana, Kansas, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Mississippi, Alabama, et al).To me this is a sticky area as a state’s rights proponent.
The presidential election is an election administered by each state to select electoral college electors, regardless of how said states may stupidly word their ballots to suggest otherwise.
In my opinion, the only way that this can really be adjusted appropriately is by constitutional amendment, which isn’t happening any time soon.
