Karoline Leavitt Breaks Down the Five Things Actually in the SAVE America Act [WATCH]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called on Congress to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act, describing the proposal as a major legislative priority backed by President Donald Trump and supported by broad public opinion across the country.

Leavitt outlined the measure during remarks in which she said the legislation contains five provisions the President has urged lawmakers to adopt to strengthen election integrity and address several issues tied to federal policy.

“President Trump is urging Congress to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act, one of the most critical pieces of legislation in our nation’s history. The SAVE AMERICA Act is overwhelmingly popular with all Americans because each provision is rooted in common sense. The SAVE AMERICA Act has five simple requirements, as requested by the President of the United States,” Leavitt said.

According to Leavitt, the first provision would require voters to show identification before casting a ballot in an election.

“Number one, voters have to show ID to cast a ballot in an American election. Very simple, 90% of Americans, including more than 80% of Democrat voters, agree with this,” she said.

The second provision would require proof of citizenship for individuals registering to vote in federal elections. Leavitt argued that the measure would ensure that only citizens participate in the electoral process.

“Number two, the SAVE AMERICA Act will require all voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in American elections. Again, this is popular and rooted in common sense, only American citizens have the right to vote in American elections, but after Joe Biden and the Democrats allowed 10s of millions of illegal aliens into our country, it’s more important than ever to ensure that only American citizens are registering to vote in our on our nation’s voter rolls, and Congress needs to pass this,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt also described a third component of the proposal that would end universal mail-in voting while preserving certain exceptions.

“Number three, the SAVE AMERICA Act abolishes the incredibly unsecure practice of universal mail in ballots, which throw the door wide open for fraud. Importantly, the SAVE AMERICA Act maintains exceptions for Americans to use mail in ballots like for illness, disability, military or travel reasons,” she said.

During her remarks, Leavitt referenced findings from a bipartisan federal election reform panel convened in 2005.

“The bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on federal election reform, chaired by of all people, former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, concluded that, quote, absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud, and it is time for Congress to finally address this,” Leavitt said.

The fourth provision outlined by Leavitt would prohibit men from competing in women’s sports. She noted that President Trump previously signed an executive order addressing the issue and said lawmakers should codify that policy into law.

“Number four, the SAVE AMERICA Act permanently bans men from competing in women’s sports. President Trump signed a landmark Executive Order, upholding the promise of Title Nine and ending this dangerous and unfair practice. But now it’s time for Congress to codify this into law,” Leavitt said.

The final provision described by Leavitt addresses medical procedures involving minors.

“Number five, the SAVE AMERICA Act bans transgender mutilation surgery for children. Again, President Trump signed a common sense executive order to do this and kept his promise to the American people, but now Congress needs to do the same and codify it,” she said.
