David Rutherford Show: David Clements Breaks Down the 2026 SCOTUS Election Rulings  
Podcast: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
Published On: Wed Jul 08 2026
Description: Professor David Clements returns to make his case that a handful of 2026 Supreme Court decisions have reshaped what a president can do on elections without waiting for Congress. David and Clements break down three rulings — the mail-in ballot deadline case, the Slaughter decision on presidential removal power, and the birthright citizenship ruling — and Clements lays out his argument for how each one connects to executive authority under Article II. You'll hear his read on the Youngstown war-powers framework, the Election Assistance Commission, and why he believes the legal terrain has shifted.  Professor David Clements is a former law professor and election-integrity advocate featured in the documentary [S]election Code.
