Karoline Leavitt - United States White House Press Secretary urged Congress to pass the "Save America Act," calling it "one of the most critical pieces of legislation in our nation's history" and saying the bill contains five requirements intended to strengthen election integrity and protect children.
Karoline Leavitt - United States White House Press Secretary framed the measure as widely supported and "rooted in common sense," saying, "The Save America Act has 5 simple requirements as requested by the president of The United States." She listed the five provisions in order.
First, Karoline Leavitt - United States White House Press Secretary said the bill would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot, calling the proposal "very simple" and asserting that "90% of Americans, including more than 80% of Democrat voters, agree with this." Second, she said the bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, which she described as necessary to ensure "only American citizens have the right to vote in American elections." Leavitt tied that proposal to a claim that, "after Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed tens of millions of illegal aliens into our country, it's more important than ever to ensure that only American citizens are registering."
Third, Karoline Leavitt - United States White House Press Secretary said the bill would abolish universal mail-in ballots while retaining exceptions for illness, disability, military service, and travel. She cited what she called "the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform" and quoted its language, saying the report "concluded that, 'absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.'" Leavitt characterized universal mail voting as "incredibly unsecure."
Fourth, she said the Save America Act would "permanently ban men from competing in women's sports," and urged Congress to codify into law an executive order she said upheld protections under Title IX. Fifth, Leavitt said the measure would prohibit gender-affirming surgery for minors, calling such procedures "transgender mutilation surgery for children" and saying Congress should codify prior executive action.
Throughout the statement, Karoline Leavitt - United States White House Press Secretary framed these provisions as bipartisan priorities for election integrity and child protection and closed with a direct appeal: "The president is calling on Congress to get the job done and send this historic piece of legislation to his desk immediately for signature."
