Trump urges 'Save America Act,' calls for photo ID, proof of citizenship and limits on mail ballots and transgender surgeries for children

President Donald J. Trump used remarks at the Lehigh Valley event to urge passage of legislation he called the "Save America Act," outlining a package of election and social-policy changes he said would be enshrined in law.

"In the Save America Act... All voters must show a photo, voter ID. All voters must provide proof of citizenship. And there will be no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel," Trump said. He also told the crowd the bill would enshrine nationwide prohibitions on "men in women's sports" and would bar certain transgender surgeries for children.

Trump framed the proposals as measures to secure elections and protect children. He repeatedly linked the proposals to claims of prior election problems and said the changes would be part of a broader legislative agenda promoted by his supporters.

The transcript records the president outlining the proposed provisions but contains no legislative text, legal citations or details about how the measures would be implemented or vetted against existing federal and state law. The event included no debate, testimony from neutral legal experts, or details about timelines for introduction or consideration in Congress.

The speech presented the proposals as campaign priorities; the president urged supporters and local officials in attendance to help elect lawmakers who would back the bill. The transcript contains no record of formal introduction of such legislation during the event.
