Trump Orders Proof of Citizenship for Voting

Washington D.C. - President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring all U.S. citizens to present proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The order, signed Tuesday, immediately sparked debate and controversy. Administration officials claim the measure is necessary to combat voter fraud and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.

We need to be certain that only American citizens are voting in our elections, said a senior administration official during a press briefing. This executive order is a crucial step in protecting the sanctity of our democratic process.

Critics, however, argue that the new requirement will disproportionately impact minority groups, low-income individuals, and the elderly, who may face challenges in obtaining or presenting the required documentation. Civil rights organizations are already planning legal challenges, arguing that the order violates the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution. Concerns have also been raised about the potential for long lines and confusion at polling places. The debate over voter ID laws and election security remains a contentious issue in American politics.
