NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s request to add
a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal
voter registration form cannot be enforced, a federal judge
ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C.,
sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the
Trump administration over his executive order to overhaul U.S.
elections.

She ruled that the proof-of-citizenship directive is an
unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.

Following its ratification by the necessary three-quarters of U.S.
states, the 14th Amendment, granting citizenship to all persons
born or naturalized in the United States—including formerly
enslaved people—is officially adopted into the U.S. Constitution

Secretary of State William Seward (below) issued a proclamation certifying the amendment.
