Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment to prohibit taxpayer money from being used on President Biden's nakedly political executive order allegedly promoting access to voting. This dangerous executive order instructed a wide range of agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Small Business Administration to engage in voter turnout operations. Think about that for a moment, the government is engaging in voter turnout. Worse, it instructs agencies to partner with approved third-party organizations to assist them in their voter registration and other election-focused efforts. Who will approve these organizations? What criteria will be used? The executive order doesn't say. Congress has never granted the administration any authority to approve such groups or specify criteria therein. This executive order is blatantly illegal. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 0000
