Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the SAVE America Act introduced by Representative Roy and Senator Lee.

In a few weeks, the United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary. One thing that has sustained American democracy since its founding is elections. Our Founders created a government by the people and for the people, and it is imperative that our elections continue to represent the views of American citizens only.

The SAVE America Act will do exactly that: ensure that our country's elections are decided only by American citizens and not foreign nationals.

Indiana first enacted voter ID laws in 2005, and it is time the rest of the country did the same. Over 80 percent of Americans support voter ID and showing proof of citizenship to vote.

Mr. Speaker, the Senate cannot keep stalling on this commonsense election reform. Senate colleagues must restore the talking filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act as soon as possible. Our country's future depends on it.
