Does the president play a role in our elections? Not really! The Constitution grants states and Congress the authority to set the rules for our elections, not the president. Campaign Legal Center's Jonathan Diaz explains. #AskAnElectionLawyer
With so many blockbuster Supreme Court decisions making headlines, this one flew under the radar. On the final day of its term, the Court issued a ruling with major consequences for our democracy. Here's what NRSC v. FEC means and why you should pay attention.
We’re suing to stop President Trump’s latest illegal executive order on mail‑in voting.
The president has no legal authority over our elections. When Trump tried to rewrite election rules last year, we sued — and won. We’re ready to defeat this attempt, too.
Just a reminder that the last time President Trump issued an anti-voter executive order, we sued and got it blocked. Quickly.
The Constitution is clear: The president does NOT have the authority to change how our elections are run. That power lies within the states and Congress.

Reminder: The last time Trump issued an anti-voter executive order, we sued and won — multiple times.
BREAKING: The Utah Supreme Court affirms that a fair congressional map will be implemented for the 2026 midterm elections. The court once again sided with our clients and reaffirmed Utahns' right to vote under a fair, legal map.

BREAKING: We're calling on Congress to end President Trump’s troubling abuse of executive power in D.C. These actions are only possible because of the disenfranchisement of the 700k+ residents who lack control over their governance. Congress must act now.
NEW: We filed an amicus brief to defend against the Trump admin’s unlawful attempt to let religious orgs engage in partisan politics.
This could create a new class of “super dark money groups” that not only funnel secret money into elections — but get a tax write-off for it.
It's time to ban members of Congress from trading stock while in office.
Americans deserve to know that our elected officials are making decisions for the public’s best interest, not to make themselves richer.
NEW: CLC analysis found that members of Congress traded millions in stocks after the Trump admin's announcement of vast tariffs sent global markets into a spiral.
A ban on lawmakers buying or selling stocks while in office is needed now more than ever. https://t.co/XyvahXz2NS
Independence Day gives us a moment to reflect on the values our nation was founded on — and the clear threat they face from the Trump administration. Campaign Legal Center is doubling down on our commitment to protecting America’s founding principles.
The Supreme Court today has effectively expanded the power of the presidency at a time when we, as a nation, are veering dangerously close to authoritarianism.
"The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law." - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
