Americans voted in record numbers in last year’s presidential election, casting nearly 158.4 million ballots. That works out to more than six-in-ten people of voting age and nearly two-thirds of estimated eligible voters, according to a preliminary Pew Research Center analysis.
The number represented a higher than average turnout, with people voting in numbers not seen since 1980 and possibly well before.
“No federal judge can order the President of the United States to engage in foreign affairs with a foreign leader. That violates Article II of the Constitution which gives the President, the commander in chief, all executive power. He is the chief law enforcement officer. He is the chief magistrate. He is the head of our foreign affairs. Judges cannot order the President to negotiate.”
