00:00This is your report from Jang Sihuk's group. This is the Census. President Trump has not
00:04directly ruled out the possibility of declaring a national emergency over the 2022 and 2026
00:08midterm elections, causing significant repercussions in American politics.
00:12This remark is drawing particular attention because it goes beyond simply expressing
00:15dissatisfaction with the election system and suggests the possibility that the federal
00:19government may intervene more strongly in the election process. The controversy centers on
00:23the Save America Act. This bill requires proof of U.S. citizenship when registering as a voter
00:28in federal elections and mandates the presentation of a photo ID at polling stations.
00:33President Trump and the MAGA faction within the Republican Party argue that these measures
00:37are essential to increase the credibility of elections, but the Democratic Party and some
00:40election experts strongly oppose them, saying they could make it harder for people to exercise
00:44their right to vote. The Senate has delayed action on this bill until after the August recess.
00:49The Senate will reconvene on September 14, and President Trump has said he may use executive
00:55measures if the bill fails. In particular, during the interview, conservative commentator
01:00Wayne Root argued to the president that he could declare a national emergency, require photo ID
01:05and proof of citizenship, and propose mail-in voting, all without needing the support of the Senate.
01:09President Trump did not deny this. President Trump said stranger things could happen,
01:13but didn't give specific explanations. This remark has sparked debate in American politics over what
01:18executive actions President Trump may be considering. The Trump administration is already clashing
01:24with federal courts over mail-in voting. President Trump told the United States Postal Service to
01:29consider holding mail-in and absentee ballots lacking voter list details, but several states and
01:35federal courts blocked this. Although an appeals court lifted some of the restrictions, giving the
01:40administration room to push its policy, in some areas, previous court rulings are still in effect.
01:45If a national emergency is declared, the main issue is how much the president can intervene in the
01:50election. Since state governments largely oversee U.S. elections, the president would need a separate
01:56legal basis to use a national emergency to put the entire midterm election under federal control.
02:02There is also a way for Congress to block the president's actions through a joint resolution,
02:06but it may require a vote that overrides the president's veto, which is not easy politically.
02:11As the U.S. midterm elections near, a major dispute is emerging over authority over election
02:16administration and the president's executive power. It's still unclear if President Trump's recent
02:20comments constitute a declaration of a national emergency. However, the very fact that the
02:25president has publicly mentioned invoking a national emergency is causing significant controversy in
02:29American political circles.
