National forces and States clash over elections and federal power
The extra session centers on the use of federal troops at polls, the right of the president to enforce laws, and the states’ authority. Republicans defend national law and preservation of elections, while Democrats push to curb federal intervention, threaten supervisors and marshals, and seek to count electoral votes under state control. The debate highlights sovereignty, national unity, and the balance of power between branches.
