Last month Federal Judge in Washington, DC, blocked the key parts of the president Donald TrumpExecutive order on the integrity of choice – a move that emphasizes how deeply divided the country remains in relation to what “the integrity of the choice” actually means ..
Although the executive order was signed by Trump entitled: “Preservation and protection of the integrity of the US choice,” Democratic National Party (DNC)What led to a group of prosecutors in challenging an order in a federal court, she claimed it was an attempt to embark on the election and dispel the voters.
In the end, both sides beat – somehow, and at least for now. Here’s what to know about the case in question:

Why did the judge blocked some of the order?
American District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ultimately left in place Trump’s part of Trump’s executive command, including a provision that requires that the states do not count the ballots received after the day of the election, in a partial victory for Trump’s administration.
But she ran aside democratic prosecutors in blocking, for now, as a new request for citoing for federal voter registration forms and a provision that directed the election officers to confirm the citizenship of potential voters.

Does it have the powers for that?
Unambiguously, yes. This is precisely the problem that modern presidents face when trying to make permanent changes in politics through executive commands – tactics increasingly favored by both Democrats and Republicans.
This is a risky management way for two reasons. The first is that these commands can be equally easily canceled by the next commander (as exposed in the last four administrations).
They also risk being stopped in federal courts, where US judges are explicitly in charge of serving as a check of presidents and freely paused or stops such commands from collection, if they determine they are Out of scope executive authorities.
This also does not mean that the district courts should have the last word of the matter.

Kollar-Kotelly emphasized last month that the voter registration laws and the ability to regulate the choice are Set up a congress and by individual states, not executive power.
Both states and congress can pass laws until “unnecessarily imposing” unnecessary burden to voters to the 14th Amendment of the American Constitution.
But the executive power, which does not divide in these abilities for passing and passing the law related to the elections, is not entitled to the same standard of legal examination, according to the judge.
“Our Constitution entrusts the Congress, and the states do not presidents-regulate the federal elections,” Kollar-Kotelly said in her judgment.

The next steps
Trump’s administration, of course, is free to regret the decision of the higher courts, if he decides to do so.
“President Trump will continue to fight for the integrity of the election, despite the complaints of Democrats who reveal their contempt for health protective measures such as citizenship check,” said the Harrison Fields White House spokesman in response to a verdict last month.

But his next steps remain unclear. To date, the administration has not complained about this question, and officials have not finally said if they plan to do so.
