Senator Mike Lee’s SAVE America Act Receives Standing Ovation at State of the Union Address

Senator Mike Lee’s SAVE America Act Receives Standing Ovation at State of the Union Address
February 25, 2026
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump
called on
members of Congress to pass Senator Mike Lee’s signature legislation, the
SAVE America Act
, during the State of the Union address Tuesday night.
“Perhaps most importantly, I’m asking you to approve the SAVE America Act to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections,”
said President Donald Trump.
“The cheating is rampant in our elections – it’s rampant. It’s very simple: all voters must show Voter ID; all voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. And no more crooked mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel – none. And this should be an easy one, by the way, it’s polling at 89% including Democrats!”
“President Trump is right – Americans demand the SAVE America Act to protect their elections from illegal voters,”
said Senator Mike Lee.
“If Senate Democrats want to get in the way, we can make them stand up, filibuster, and fail. Republicans should pass the SAVE America Act to secure our elections and deliver on our promises to the American people!”
The
SAVE America Act
is
widely endorsed
by everyday Americans and received a flood of support during Tuesday night’s address.
The
SAVE America Act
would protect and preserve the right of American citizens to vote by:
Requiring individuals to present an eligible photo identification document before voting.
Requiring states to obtain proof of citizenship – in person – when registering an individual to vote.
Requiring states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, at least 10 million illegal aliens poured into communities nationwide. In many states, these illegal aliens are eligible for driver’s licenses and other benefits, providing ample opportunities to illegally register to vote in Federal elections. In some jurisdictions, non-citizens are even able to vote in local elections. While only U.S. citizens can legally vote in Federal elections, Federal law has generally preempted and undermined state laws requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in such elections.
