Trump pushes Congress to pass SAVE Act during State of the Union; no meddling with tariffs
Fox News
Trump State of the Union speech asks Congress to approve SAVE Act requiring citizenship proof for voting and pass stock trading ban for lawmakers.

There were two big asks — and one admonition — from President Donald Trump this week. He wants Congress to approve the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for people to vote. He wants lawmakers to pass a stock trading ban, handcuffing Congress from dealing in stocks. And the President doesn’t want Congress to meddle in tariff policy.
President Trump touted his new tariffs, arguing that they will eventually replace the nation’s income tax. This commander-in-chief has wielded executive power more broadly than any other president. So he instructed lawmakers to trade in their tariff authority.
