of course therein lies the difference between "not explicitly granted to the president" and "explicitly not granted to the president", and power over voting law is very much the latter. This isn't something the Constitution is remotely silent on.

Trump v US was bad law not merely because of the constitution's silence, but the need to reverse interpretive signals such as bribery as an impeachable crime, and ALSO ignore a strong history and tradition of laws criminalizing conduct that *necessarily* involves presidential acts, such as the PCA.

here, though, the Constitution is explicit about who has power over election law, and explicit that it is not the President.
