""I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed," he wrote. "GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!""
"The legislation, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, would require Americans registering to vote in federal elections to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and comply with stricter voter identification rules. Republicans say the measure is intended to prevent noncitizen voting, though such voting is already illegal, and documented cases are exceedingly rare."
"Trump also urged Republicans not to pass what he called a "watered down version," outlining additional provisions he wants attached to the legislation, including banning transgender women from women's sports and prohibiting gender-affirming medical care for minors."
President Trump is escalating pressure on Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), which would require Americans to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and comply with stricter voter identification rules. Republicans claim the measure prevents noncitizen voting, though such voting is already illegal and documented cases are extremely rare. Trump has demanded the legislation include additional provisions banning transgender women from women's sports and prohibiting gender-affirming medical care for minors. He stated he will not sign other bills until this legislation passes and warned against passing a "watered down version." Voting rights advocates express concern that the SAVE Act itself could create barriers for eligible voters.
