Constitutional connection: Article I, Section 8, the legislative branch. In the United States Constitution it says that it's responsible to "make rules for the regulation of land and naval forces, provide for, arm, and discipline the militia."

Explanation of connection:
        

“The MOVE Act was passed last year to ensure that these brave men and women would have a voice in this fall’s elections. It’s unacceptable that any state would fail to meet that obligation. The Obama administration must act swiftly to guarantee that every service member receives his or her ballot in time to vote.” (1) What this paragraph is saying is that the move act allows the soldiers to vote.

    This article clearly demonstrates Article I, section 8, of the United States Constitution. Congress has the right to make laws/rules. This article demonstrates how the legislative branch made the power to come up with an act that allows soldiers to vote because they are citizens.

   I am in favor for the move act because the soldiers,who brave enough fight for our country,have the right to also vote like any other citizen in the US. Yes they are out of the United States but they are out because of one purpose-to fight for our state. Don't they have the right to atleast vote for their country? I know I would if I were a soldier in the U.S military.
