Congressman Clay Fuller Cosponsors “Save America Act” on First Day in Office
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Freshman Congressman Clay Fuller announced he has officially cosponsored the “Save America Act” as his first piece of legislation on his first day in Congress.
Fuller said the move fulfills a campaign promise and reflects his focus on election security.
“There is nothing more important than working with President Donald Trump to safeguard our elections,” Fuller said in a statement. “The hardworking people of Northwest Georgia didn’t send me to Washington to sit on the sidelines — they sent me here to fight and save our country.”
According to Fuller, the proposed legislation is aimed at strengthening election integrity and restoring public confidence in the voting process.
Key Provisions of the Bill
Supporters of the measure say the “Save America Act” includes several major components:
- Proof of Citizenship Requirement
Voters would be required to provide verified proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. - Mandatory Voter Identification
The bill would require all voters to present a valid photo ID in order to cast a ballot. - Voter Roll Maintenance
States would be required to remove ineligible individuals, including noncitizens, from voter rolls and verify voter eligibility using federal databases. - Changes to Registration Practices
The legislation proposes limits on certain mail-in and online voter registration systems, emphasizing more secure registration methods. - Accountability Measures
Election officials who knowingly register ineligible individuals could face penalties under the proposal.
Looking Ahead
The bill has been introduced in Congress but would need approval from both the House and Senate before being sent to the president for consideration.
As with most election-related legislation, the proposal is expected to draw debate from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
