President Donald Trump on Friday said he will issue an executive order “shortly” laying out the “legal reasons” for national voter-identification requirements.

Trump, in posts late Friday to Truth Social, said he wants voter-ID laws implemented for the 2026 midterm elections, even though legislation mandating them appears poised to stall in Congress.

“The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections,” Trump posted to Truth Social.

“This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!” he continued.

In a second post, published minutes after the first, Trump said, “If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.”

This is just a way to fast track it to the SCOTUS.

He needs to include language in the EO that prevents groups from going to court to sue, to preempt likely attempts at striking this down

That's unavoidable. As the poster above you said, if he does this it is 100% going before SCOTUS. Which, it should. We need them to come to bat on this issue. The constitution is unequivocal. You have to be a citizen to vote.

The idea that Congress can set the rules for national elections is questionable. There's no way a president has that power. Remember, if Trump can do it so can a Democrat president.

Do you think someone should have to show ID to vote?

2 things..

Trump is begging the Dems to make this an issue. Look how stupid they are going to look fighting for illegals to vote

#2 - it will fast track it to the supreme court and if the supreme court follows the Constitution then we should have this in the bag

Either way, it's a win/won for America

Yes. Do you believe one person by himself should be able to set the election rules for the whole country?

How can you have standing to sue before you were denied the right to vote because you don't have ID?

The rules are already set. 1 person is speaking for 75% of citizens that want people to prove they are following the rules.

The rule is already set you stupid frick...
Non citizens can't vote in federal elections! But, since our nation has been infiltrated with Marxsit piece of shits like you, we have to ensure this law is followed.

Could add "If anyone files a brief to stop this, they are a fig." to the fine print.

He wants this issue out in the open so the American People can see the arguments that Dems make AGAINST secure elections.

Pretty smart actually.

There are no national rules regarding ids you stupid frick. Since our nation has been infiltrated with uneducated morons like you, we have to ensure civics is taught in school again. Are you ok with a future Democrat president making it illegal to show ids nationally? Anything Trump can do, a future president can do. Why do you want the president to be a dictator?
