Questions are being raised on the decisions of US President Donald Trump in America itself. First, the US Parliament (Senate) passed a resolution banning military action against Iran. Now he has got a big blow from the court on his efforts to change the election rules. A federal court in Boston has put a stay on a large part of his election order, which included the mandatory condition of showing citizenship document at the time of voter registration.
According to AP report, the federal judge gave this decision on Wednesday (June 24). This means that now the Trump administration will not be able to implement most parts of its first executive order related to elections. This also includes the rule in which the Trump administration wanted that whenever a new person registers to vote, he should prove that he is an American citizen by showing government documents, but after this decision of the court, this rule will not be implemented.
Court stayed the decision
This decision of Boston-based US District Court Judge Denise Casper now makes her one-year-old order permanent. A year ago, he imposed a preliminary injunction that temporarily halted many of Trump’s efforts to change the election system. Now this ban has come into effect forever.
The Trump administration had argued that the case filed by Democratic state attorneys general to block the changes was premature because the rules had not yet been implemented, but the court rejected it. The judge also made it clear that the authority on how the elections will be held does not rest with the President but with the Congress and the states. He also said that the Constitution ‘does not give the President any special powers over elections.’
Senate passed ‘War Powers Resolution’
Earlier, the US Senate had passed ‘War Powers Resolution’ on Iran. under which the President donald trump It has been banned from taking further military action in Iran without the approval of Congress. This is the first time that such a resolution has been passed by both houses of Congress since the conflict began in February. The proposal also signals growing opposition to Trump’s handling of the war.
