Defending America’s Future Elections Act

This legislation aims to nullify Executive Order 14248, issued on March 25, 2025, which Congress finds exceeds the authority of the Executive Branch and would disenfranchise millions of American voters. The bill explicitly states that this Executive Order shall have no force or effect and prohibits the use of any federal funds for its implementation, administration, enforcement, or to carry out its provisions. A key provision also prevents the Department of Government Efficiency from utilizing federal funds to access various state records related to federal elections. Specifically, this includes state voter registration lists, records concerning voter list maintenance activities, and federal immigration databases. Congress emphasizes that the Constitution grants authority over the time, place, and manner of elections to Congress and the States, not the President, citing precedents like the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
