WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump issued a stark ultimatum to Congress on Sunday, March 8, declaring that he will refuse to sign any other legislation until lawmakers approve "THE SAVE AMERICA ACT."

 In a series of statements on Truth Social, the President emphasized that the legislation must "GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE," taking precedence over all other business before the government.

He described the measure as an "88% issue with ALL VOTERS" and called for its immediate passage. He explicitly warned Congress against advancing a "WATERED DOWN VERSION," urging lawmakers instead to "GO FOR THE GOLD" in meeting his specific demands for the bill's provisions.

Strict new requirements for American elections



A central pillar of the President's demand involves sweeping changes to the national voting system. He stated that the final version of the act must require voters to show "VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP" to cast a ballot.

Additionally, the President is aiming to nearly eliminate mail-in voting nationwide. His proposal requires that no mail-in ballots be allowed except in cases like military members and those dealing with illness, disability, or essential travel.

National bans on gender-related social issues

Beyond election reform, the President has tied his signature on future legislation to the inclusion of strict social provisions in the Save America Act. He has called for a federal prohibition of "MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS" as a non-negotiable component of the bill. 

The President also demanded an immediate end to "TRANSGENDER MUTILATION FOR CHILDREN," categorizing it alongside his other high-priority requirements for the bill. He concluded his message to congressional leaders with a direct command: "DO NOT FAIL!!!"

Trump applauds Pressler’s filibuster strategy



President Trump also took to social media to praise the "hard-working" Scott Pressler for his recent appearance on Fox & Friends.

Trump applauded Pressler’s discussion regarding the strategic use of the filibuster, or a "Talking Filibuster," to force the immediate passage of the Save America Act.

The President reiterated that this legislation must supersede all other congressional priorities, urging lawmakers to utilize every available procedural tool to ensure the bill moves to the absolute "FRONT OF THE LINE."
