While the White House pushes for expanded executive control—using unprecedented federal leverage, even in state elections—states are pushing back, enacting laws to shield their autonomy and election integrity. Lawmakers across the political spectrum are voicing frustration over federal overreach, while the administration insists it’s defending constitutional principles. Compounding the tension, a growing bipartisan movement is rallying behind a convention of the states to propose constitutional amendments limiting federal power—from balanced budgets to term limits. Whether this movement gains traction or not, the current friction signals deep national unease over federal overreach, and the choices made now will profoundly shape America’s future.
