Abbott signs Texas law making it clear only US citizens can vote in state elections

Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a legislation on Monday, which he said made “crystal clear” that only American citizens are not allowed to vote in the elections in his term.

The ruler said in a video posted on X.

The Senator in Texas, Brian Birduel, a Republican, made a joint decision in the Senate (SJR) 37 in January, and in the decision, he suggested a constitutional amendment that shows that voters in the Texas elections should be citizens in the United States

Before the decision, the constitution banned persons under the age of 18, along with those who are mentally determined by a court or convicted of a felony, from voting in the elections.

However, the amendment suggests adding a line to categories of people who are not “not allowed to vote” in Texas, who reads, “people who are not citizens in the United States.”

BirdWell’s joint decision was approved by the Senate in the state in April, then by the State Council in May.

Abbott signed the subscriber’s decision on Monday, but he still has another step. In fact, the Texas citizens will have the final statement in November about whether the state constitution can be ratified to include the condition in the state constitution.

Fox News Digital has communicated with ABBTTT and BirdWell offices to comment.

Last month, a federal judge prevented an executive order signed by President Donald Trump requires a documentary proof of citizenship before allowing him to register to vote.

Judge Colin Coller Cotley of the US Provincial Court of Colombia issued the order in response to the lawsuits of three separate groups of prosecutors for five different provisions on an executive order on March 25 regarding the integrity of the elections. While Kollar-Kotelly rejected requests to prevent three rulings, requests were granted to prohibit two rulings on proving citizenship requirements for voters.

The banned first ruling sought to force the Electoral Aid Committee to amend the models of the unified national voter registration to require a documentary proof of citizenship. The second sought to ask the federal agencies to provide voters ’registration to persons on public assistance to“ assess ”the individual’s nationality before doing so.

“Our constitution is entrusted with congress and the states-not president-the power to organize federal elections. In line with the allocation of power, Congress currently discusses legislation that affects many of the changes that the president claims to the regime,” wrote Kola Koteli, which is Clinton. “There is no legal mandate for the authority to the executive authority that allows the president to shorten trading in the short Congress by executive order.”
