            By Mr. KHANNA:
        H.R. 4315.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 4, clause 1 of the Constitution reads 
     ``The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for 
     Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each 
     State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any 
     time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the 
     Places of chusing Senators.''
       So, Article I, Section 4, clause 1 allows states to 
     prescribe the ``Time, Places and Manner of holding Elections 
     for Senators and Representatives,'' but allows Congress ``at 
     any time'' to ``make or alter such regulations.''
