The legislation has bottlenecked other matters on Capitol Hill, as the president said he will not sign other bills into law until the SAVE America Act passes the Senate.

- ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!)
- ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
- NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY DEPLOYMENT, OR TRAVEL!)
“There is only one reason to oppose — CHEATING! The House of Representatives has approved this vital Act, THREE TIMES. The United States Senate seems unable to do so,” he continued. “In a time when there is a powerful Communist Movement taking place in our Country, one more dangerous than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or September 11th, all Dumocrats, and our five Republican Senate Hold Outs, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and Mitch McConnell must vote to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. There can be no more excuses!”
