President supports linking "Save America Act" to FISA renewal, outlines voting restrictions he favors
A reporter asked whether the President favored linking the Save America Act to the FISA renewal; the President said he would "love to see that," characterizing the Save America Act as centered on voter ID and other voting restrictions.

The President described provisions he said were in the Act: requiring U.S. birth for voting eligibility, limiting mail-in ballots except for military personnel, the sick, or the disabled, and restrictions related to transgender participation in certain contexts. He said the Act listed "the top three" items tied to voting rules, and emphasized limits on mail-in ballots because of what he described as "tremendous cheating" with such ballots.

The exchange records the President's stated policy preferences but does not record legislative text, sponsors, or an enacted statutory linkage between the Save America Act and FISA. Reporters raised the linkage as a current proposal pushed by "Hannah Paulo Luna," but the gaggle transcript does not include follow-up detail about congressional timing, votes, or stakeholders working on the measure.

The President framed the measures as protections for the integrity of elections and said the proposals were "very important," but he did not present legislative language or say when or whether he would formally submit language to Congress. The record provided is a summary of his policy preferences and support for a proposed pairing of two legislative items, not a formal proposal or enacted law.
