Trump’s New Executive Orders: Transformations in Treasury and Security Protocols

President Donald Trump unveils executive orders to transform Treasury operations, assert election integrity, and enforce national security protocols.

Key Takeaways

Trump mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration to secure election integrity.
Election Assistance Commission loses funding power over states that disobey federal election laws.
The Treasury Department will switch to electronic payments by September 30, 2025, to minimize fraud.
Security clearances at Jenner & Block LLP are suspended due to national interest concerns.
Trump allocates Department of Homeland Security resources to verify voter eligibility.

Strengthening Election Integrity

President Trump signed an executive order requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, setting a precedent for Election Day compliance. These actions are aimed at solidifying trust in the American electoral process. Federal election funds are contingent on states adhering to these measures. Noncompliance could result in funding cessations. The executive action also focuses on a biometric model for voter ID, inspired by systems used in nations like India and Brazil.

In a bid to enhance integrity, the order insists on accurate voter registration lists and prosecuting election crimes. A comprehensive database by federal agencies will authenticate eligibility, alongside restrictions to prevent foreign interference and illegal immigrant voting. Trump’s staff secretary Will Scharf asserts, “This is going to cut down on illegal immigrants on the voter rolls.”

Modernizing the Treasury Department

Another executive order focuses on overhauling Treasury operations by mandating the switch to electronic payments by late 2025. This initiative is set to reduce fraud and improve processing efficiency. White House staff secretary Will Scharf noted, “Historically, checks issued by the Treasury are, I believe, 14 times more likely to become the subject of fraud than electronic transfer payments.” The Treasury’s ability to screen improper payments and fraud is thereby enhanced.

Modernizing Treasury systems aims at eliminating waste and abuse. By switching to electronic payments, the government seeks a more secure and efficient payment method. Enhanced fraud detection mechanisms will serve as the backbone for this transition, aiming to drastically reduce incidences of financial malpractice.

National Security Measures

The final executive order addresses concerns regarding national security. Trump’s action to suspend security clearances at Jenner & Block LLP reflects administration concerns about potential conflicts with national interests and possible discriminatory practices. Scharf states, “We’ve taken action against a number of law firms that have participated either in the weaponization of government, the weaponization of the legal system for political ends, or have otherwise engaged in illegal or inappropriate activities.”

These security measures highlight the administration’s focus on maintaining strict national security protocols. Federal agencies are called to reassess clearances and secure mutual information-sharing agreements. A new era of regulated, streamlined, and transparent governance is envisioned as these executive orders are rolled out and enforced.
