He announced this on Truth Social, pressuring Congress to pass legislation aimed at election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>Key points:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The SAVE America Act, led by Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, would require proof of citizenship and voter ID to register to vote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Trump has added additional policies to his demands, including restrictions on transgender participation in sports and certain surgeries, tho these are not core provisions of the act itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; He has also pushed for a ban on mail-in ballots, but the current bill does not include an outright ban; exceptions would exist for voters with disabilities, service members, and those who are traveling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A provision to remove noncitizens from voter rolls is part of the broader voting-security agenda, but Trump has not yet tied it to his demand list.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt endorsed the push. With 53 Republicans in the Senate, some Democratic support would be needed; Sen. John Fetterman has indicated he would back the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>the article describes Trump leveraging his demand for the SAVE America Act to push for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dozens-of-house-republicans-demand-mitch-mcconnell-stop-stalling-the-save-act-31\/\" title=\"Dozens of House Republicans Demand Mitch McConnell &#039;Stop Stalling the SAVE ...&#039;\">stricter election rules<\/a>, while outlining the political dynamics and potential hurdles.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump says he won&rsquo;t sign other bills until Congress passes SAVE America Act<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2525044\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> on Sunday said he would not sign any other bills until <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"31\">Congress<\/a> passes the SAVE America Act because it &ldquo;supersedes everything else.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The president shared his remarks on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116193527873859174\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116193527873859174\">Truth Social<\/a>, adding pressure to Congress to pass the legislation that is intended to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >secure election integrity<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4484510\/white-house-iran-war-media-blitz-shock\/\">White House&#8217;s bombastic Iran war media blitz breaks from precedent, shocking critics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4484437\/cuba-end-line-trump-shield-america-summit\/\">&#8216;At the end of the line&#8217;: Cuba in the crosshairs at Trump&#8217;s Shield of Americas Summit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4484447\/trump-announce-america-counter-cartel-coalition-shield-america-summit\/\">Trump announces new &#8216;Americas Counter Cartel Coalition&#8217; at Shield of the Americas Summit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;It must be done immediately.
