He quickly proposed a new constitution that would establish a strong presidency and replace the Parliament with two newly elected houses. It wasn’t clear how Yeltsin would install the new constitution-legally, through another time-consuming referendum; or more or less illegally, through executive flat....

According to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, the Hatch Act prohibits some federal employees from participating in certain political activities in order to “ensure that federal programs are administered in a non-partisan fashion.” The documents produced by Navarro’s office did not specifically attempt to entice readers to re-elect Trump.
