Sources confirm Trump signed two election executive orders: one in March 2025 on proof of citizenship and mail ballot deadlines, and one on March 31, 2026 (EO 14399) creating a federal citizenship list and restricting mail ballots, which AP calls his second attempt to set national election rules.
What was said
… It's all in Article 1 of the Constitution. Congress makes laws regulating elections. This country is so sick because of the election, the fake election, but the president doesn't have a role in running them. That hasn't stopped Mr. Trump from signing two executive orders trying to create new federal voting rules. And it's an honor to sign this one, to sign all of them, but to sign this one is a great honor.

Supports. The Executive Order 14399 text and the White House fact sheet, both dated March 31, 2026, document a signed order directing citizenship verification and mail-ballot procedures for federal elections.[3][4]
Supports. AP reporting describes a March 2025 executive order that reshaped voter registration and ballot deadlines, and a later AP report describes the March 2026 order as Trump's second attempt to set national election rules.[1][5]
Supports. Campaign Legal Center describes the March 2025 order as an attempt to change federal election rules, and it was later struck down in part by courts.[6]
Context. Federal judges have halted or struck down parts of both orders, and the Supreme Court is considering a stay request, but these rulings concern enforceability rather than whether the orders were signed.[2][7][8]
