Elections Clause
Members spoke on the House floor about the Constitution’s Elections Clause (Article I, Section 4, Clause 1), which gives Congress power to make or alter rules for congressional elections. Representative Val Hoyle argued that this text gives Congress authority over election regulations, cited a court order directing the administration not to interfere with voting by mail, pointed to Oregon’s all-mail voting system, and asked colleagues to keep their promises to follow the law and protect the right to vote.
