Via the Washington Post, Dementia Don strikes again:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday requiring people to provide documents proving they are citizens when they register to vote, a mandate that could prevent millions of Americans from voting.

Election experts said Trump was claiming power he does not have and said lawsuits over the measure were all but guaranteed.

“This executive order is unlawful,” said Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University. “The president does not have the authority to require this. The president cannot override a statute passed by Congress that says what is required to register to vote on the federal voter registration form.”

With the measure, Trump also sought to withhold federal election funding from states who do not comply with his directive.
