Reporters press on oil company profits, voter ID and border policy during commission launch

During the question-and-answer session following the signing, reporters raised several domestic-policy topics. One asked about record profits at Exxon and Chevron; the president said the companies were "making too much money" and urged that some of those profits be returned to consumers through lower retail prices.

Reporters also asked about voter-ID proposals and the Save America Act; the president said he supports voter ID and proof of citizenship for voting. On border policy the president said his administration had substantially reduced illegal crossings compared with a prior period and framed the issue as a central accomplishment. The event included exchanges on tax audits and an allegation involving Representative Max Miller; the president called those allegations "a very sad thing" and said he would leave the matter to affected families and processes.
