America Seems Doomed to Split Up

The Constitution is federal law, dope.

So I, a citizen of Germany, living in Germany, can vote in U.S. elections? I was able to vote for changes in the Constitution?


Nothing in the Constitution requires a person to be a citizen to vote in federal elections.

In the early history of the republic almost any male was allowed to vote. They were not required to be citizens and voter registration did not exist in most jurisdictions.

Article I, $8.

No. Males in Britain weren't allowed to vote in the United States. Males in China weren't allowed to vote in the United States.

They were required to be citizens...and still are.

Lack of historical knowledge fallacy.

Article I, Section 8 is the powers given Congress. The Constitution gives the states the power to set voter qualifications which can be modified by Congress.

If the Constitution required citizenship for voting Congress did not need to pass the 1996 law requiring citizenship for voting in federal elections. Citizenship is still not required for voting in some local elections.

Currently, it looks like GA is going to choose Republican electors.
AZ looks like it might also, but seems to be further away from actually choosing

Mockery. Void argument fallacy.

No, it doesn't.

Congress did not need to pass such a law.

The SOTNY has no constitution.
 
No, it doesn't.

Yes, it does. You need to read the Constitution. There is nothing requiring citizenship for voting and certainly not in Article I, Section 8 which is the powers granted to Congress. Otherwise, you would be able to show us the provision requiring citizenship.

Yes it is.

No, it's not. You are just talking off the top of your head without any knowledge or research.

1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

Only citizens over 18 are allowed to vote, buttnugget

You ignore the other provisions in the Constitution. Because you cannot deny citizens over 18 the right to vote does not mean you cannot allow others to vote also. This is proven by the MD cities that allow non-citizens to vote.

No state allowed non-citizens to vote in federal election, but they had the power to do so. That is the reason Congress passed the 1996 requiring those voting in federal elections to be citizens. Check out voting requirements in the first hundred years of the country. Voting requirements were very loose.

Congress also tried to change the voting age to 18 in state and local elections but the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional.
