illegal aliens voting in an election is unconstitutional

 The issue of whether it is unconstitutional for illegal aliens to vote for President is governed by several sections of the U.S. Constitution:

Article I, Section 2, Clause 1 states that the House of Representatives shall be composed of members "chosen...by the People of the several States."

 Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 provides that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors" for the Electoral College. These provisions suggest that the right to vote for President is limited to U.S. citizens.

The 14th Amendment, Section 1 states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This has been interpreted to exclude illegal aliens from citizenship and the right to vote.

The 15th Amendment prohibits the denial of the right to vote "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." However, it has been held that this does not extend the right to vote to non-citizens. [1][2][3]

Furthermore, the Supreme Court has consistently held that the right to vote in federal elections is limited to U.S. citizens. In Johnstone v. Baker (1886), the Court ruled that only citizens can vote in presidential elections. In Sugarman v. Dougall (1973), the Court affirmed that the right to vote may be limited to U.S. citizens. [4][5]

Therefore, based on the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent, it is unconstitutional for illegal aliens to vote for President of the United States.

In addition:

The 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship applies only to persons "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, which has been interpreted to exclude illegal aliens. [1] The 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," but does not extend voting rights to non-citizens. [2][3]

The Supreme Court has directly addressed this issue, ruling that the right to vote in federal elections is limited to U.S. citizens. In Johnstone v. Baker (1886), the Court held that only citizens can vote in presidential elections. [4] This was reaffirmed in Sugarman v. Dougall (1973), where the Court stated that the right to vote may be restricted to citizens. [5]

Given the clear constitutional provisions and Supreme Court precedents, it is unconstitutional for illegal aliens to vote for President of the United States. The right to vote in federal elections is reserved for U.S. citizens under the 14th and 15th Amendments, as interpreted by the courts.
