Will Congress pass legislation on the targeted priorities President Trump laid out in his SOTU address?
Unlike some past SOTU addresses with extensive “laundry lists,” Trump’s remarks included only a limited number of specific calls to action directed at Congress. He urged lawmakers to pass legislation on several targeted priorities, often framing them as ways to codify his executive actions or advance his agenda. Here’s a breakdown of the main things he explicitly called on Congress to do, based on reporting from outlets like NPR, Fox News, CNBC, and others:
- Approve the SAVE America Act: He urged passage of this bill requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID for voting, purging voter rolls of non-citizens, and other election integrity measures to prevent non-citizens from voting.
- Codify his prescription drug pricing reforms (often referred to as “Trump Rx” or the Most-Favored-Nation policy): Trump asked Congress to enshrine into permanent law his efforts to tie U.S. drug prices to the lowest prices paid in other developed nations, aiming to lower costs for Americans.
- Pass the “Stop Insider Trading Act”: He called for legislation to ban or restrict members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks using insider information gained through their positions.
- Make permanent his ban on large institutional investors (e.g., Wall Street firms, private equity) buying single-family homes: Trump reiterated a call to codify an executive order preventing corporations from bulk-purchasing homes, emphasizing “homes for people, not for corporations” to address housing affordability.
- Pass the “Delilah Law” (or similar phrasing in reports): This would ban states from issuing commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants in the country without legal status.
- Other mentions included broader support for funding military priorities (e.g., boosting Pentagon resources to $1 trillion in some contexts), health care reforms (like replacing aspects of the Affordable Care Act or redirecting insurance payments), and border security enhancements, though these were less explicitly tied to new standalone bills.
Of all the items President Trump has asked Congress to address, the most important is the SAVE America Act and other legislation to make US elections free and fair.
President Trump called out the Democrats on their election cheating during the SOTU:
🚨 BREAKING #SOTU2026: Trump hammers Dems on election security — “It must be passed… The only reason why they don’t want it passed is because they want to cheat!”
Pushing the SAVE America Act hard: Voter ID + proof of citizenship to stop rampant cheating & crooked mail-in… pic.twitter.com/sGZ8mbTeLT— NewsGalaxy (@NewsGalaxyHQ) February 25, 2026
The elections are not certifiable as they stand. The only way the Democrats win is if they are allowed to cheat.
Congress has been completely useless and ineffectual for 40 years. They will continue being so, and spending us out of existence.
LAZIEST AND MOST WORTHLESS CLOWNS ON THE PLANET!!! THERE WAS A REASON FOR THE FILIBUSTERER!!! AND PART OF THAT WAS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS!!! SO THAT IS WHY THEY GOT RID OF IT!!! WELL WE ARE HEADING TO A SERIOUS CONSTITUTIONAL CRISES THAT WILL END UP WITH A WHOLE LOT OF SORRY A$$ES SHIVERIN IN THEIR SLIPPERS WAITING FOR THEIR TIME UP!!! THEY MAKE ME THINK OF SMEAGLE!!!
Thune and mcco9nnell are the one holding this SAVE ACT from becoming a reality. WHY IS COMMUNIST CHINA MITCH being allowed to block this bill? He's not in charge anymore. Or is he?
GOP needs the Dem party as their foil…SAVE will destroy the Dem party
Maybe so. It still doesn’t change the fact that they don’t work for the American people either.
And why do we wait for Schumer to bring a bill to the floor? Isn't he a minority?
Exactly
When they relinquished control to Federal Self Regulation Congress became totally irrelevant and it shows today.
Make tarring and feathering great again
Will the swamp drain itself? The answer is in the question.
All of this spending to create Debt is the plan that will be used to make everyone; but the "special" people, controlled slaves. Government is on debt, companies are in debt and citizens are in debt all to be "saved" by central bank crypto-currency and everything being connected by wire to the power brokers. You cause problems, don't duck walk, make them mad, then a push of a button and you'll have no "money" to live on.
President Trump remains our best hope.
Trump will be campaigning for Congress seats & Senate MORE than any president in history.
Trump is taking the "bring out the vote" SERIOUSLY and we know his campaigning prowess.
Trump also can and surely plans to keep pressure and raise pressue on Senate
We all should keep helping as much as possible
Yeah… He's a one man wrecking crew …. He keeps finding ways to fight for us so we should appreciate what he's able to do. There will never be another like him. The swamp will keep trying to divide MAGA.
Trump surrendered to the MN communists and is making deals with the Muslim communist mayor in NYC.
…giving enemies enough rope…you know the rest.
You can’t make communists legitimate and think everything will be ok. The same communists will be putting Trump in a NY prison once he is out of office.
…communists are quite legitimate…they tell you exactly what they intend…problem is the voters won’t, or can’t,h listen …so …oh well, they reap what the sow, ie: voted for
So you’re fine with communists taking over the country?
ummm duh NO
Umm..no…my point is they are honest…like muslims….they tell you exactly what they will do….but fools and cucks still support them.
It’s democrats that lie and lie, then when fools and cucks vote them in…are surprised that they were lied to as they get fleeced.
Some personnel firings should take place ASAP. Or is he waiting for 2026?
??? We ARE in 2026.
Congress have been useless and ineffectual for ‘we the people.’ Congress have not been useless and ineffectual for their big money donors, foreign governments, special interests and their own enrichment.
…by design
We re-elect 95% of them every cycle.
Thune needs to get rid of fillibuster. Why isn't he?
HE NEEDS TO BRING IN THE FILLABUSTER!!! WHY IS HE NOT? BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY SOB'S AND DO NOT WANT TO DO THEIR JOBS OR GIVE UP THEIR ABILITIES TO GRIFT TAXPAYERS!!!
No!
If Voter integrity is NOT established THEY will steal 2026/8 and by da end of 2030 most of us will be DEAD!
Some of them are going with me then.
Since THEY want 95% of us dead, includin THEIR own useful Idiots, THEY most likely will shut down da grid and let us all kill eachother and starve and then bring in da PLA in Blue helmets to kill offf da survivers!
Tin foil much?
U must not follow Bill Gates!
U must not follow Bill Gates!
Only if you lay down and die, instead of standing and fight the communists. Damn cuckservative coward! You people make me sick!
Funny, I haven't read about u in da news! No LOL!
"Will Congress Follow-Up on President Trump’s SOTU Requests for Legislation – Especially the SAVE Act?"
— DUH !!! HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF RINO THUNE AND HIS DESPICABLE BUNCH OF SENATE RINOS (TILLIS, MURKOWSKI, McCONNELL, COLLINS, ETC) ?????
If Republicans do not pass this, I'm forever leaving the party. They talk big and do nothing. They are sleeping with the enemy, and that is just how corrupt the deep self-serving state is. It's a grand old party, but the public is not invited.
Make sure you send your comment to the useless representatives that serve (steal) in your district.
Jim, I am real sure that won't solve anything. But it IS what many will do. This is the nature of politics. It's only honest once in a while, so the crooks can get away with it longer. And Washington is LOADED with 'em.
1000 up votes.
Not just the DEMONcrats being exposed. Republicans as well. This is the defining moment for America to see. Dark to Light.
THEY WONT!!! THEY ARE TO ARROGANT AND STUPID!!! THEY THINK THAT THEY WILL JUST HAVE THE GUARD AND MILITARY STEP ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AS IT GOES INTO FULL REVOLT OVER ALL THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO AND HAVEN'T!!! THEY THINK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WILL JUST BLINDLY DO WHAT THEY WERE ON J6, AGAIN!!! THEY THINK THAT THEIR BEING BUDDY BUDDY WITH THE CARTELS AND ILLEGALS WILL BACK THEM UP!!! THEY THINK THEY CAN COOK UP SOME PACIFIER LOOKS GOOD BILL THAT SAYS ONE THING IN THE TITLE BUT NOT ONE THING GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC, BUT LINES THEIR POCKETS EVEN MORE OUT OF OUR TAX DOLLARS!!! THEY THINK THEY CAN RUN AWAY TO SOME OTHER COUNTRY OR BUNKER SOMEWHERE AND HIDE OUT IF THINGS DO NOT GO AS THEY PLAN!!! THEY THINK THAT AMERICANS, VERY ANGRY AMERICANS WILL NOT HUNT THEM DOWN NO MATTER WHAT ROCK THEY TRY TO HIDE UNDER!!! THEY ARE TO STUPID AND ARROGANT!!!
Let me help you out. NO
John Thune was elected by secret ballot. That alone will let you know whether or not the SAVE act ever gets passed.
At this point it does not look like the SAVE Act will be passed. At least not before the 2026 election. We will see what happens.
Laws help but do not stop election fraud unless they are applied, the perps arrested, charged, tried, and jailed. Then next time people may think twice. The left is going to cheat in 2026. Based in the 2024 election they are going to have to or they will not take the House or the Senate. We have to be ready for that.

Do they ever?
NOPE
House will pass it all just like the save act
Senate snakes will block it just like they are doing with just about everything
from judicial confirmations to the save act.
Grassley and his blue slip rule is blocking Pam Bondi from placing US Attorneys
so that she can even begin to prosecute the likes of Comey , letitia james et al
in a swamp filled court system.
forget the save act – it's DOA
The only way to win the midterms is "TOO BIG TO RIG" – GOTV
The Senate and Thune will not pass the Save America Act under any circumstances.
Will Cngress follow up?
Of course not.
Thune is so weak, passing voter ID is questionable, as Republicans don’t mind being a minority, in fact, they get paid more, because their votes are worth more.
Republicans are wimps, insufferable pussies, who refuse to stand up. I hate ‘em as much as Democrats.
As of today Trump should stop endorsing ANY congressmen until the Save act is passed. Maybe their primary opponents but not them. The ones who voted for the thing clearly aren't putting enough pressure on the RINOs who didn't. What did Democrats say? THIS IS WAR
No. They will not. Nothing else to say
The Senate had a Doggie Parade today.. Is that their idea of working?
There is nothing that is too extreme for those in power to do to the RINO scum and their families until they toe the line on this. Stop letting the Democrap collaborators do what they do!
If Congress says that the states don’t need to prove a person’s identity or citizenship to vote the Republic must be disqualified, dissolved, and new representatives must be elected because they will in practice say citizenship doesn’t matter.
Of course not… they are UniParty
We know how this story goes, after they lose majorities in 2026, Blackburn, Ernst, Cruz, Cotton, Graham will be all over TV and radio telling us how they'll change things when they get back in power. These people aren't serious if they were they'd be putting undue pressure on Thune to bring it to the floor and get it passed.
Congress and the House are both One broken Record, same sh88it, different day.
One of the many reasons I call them the DC Cartel.
I think even the Republicans want to preserve their ability to rig elections. It's a uni-swamp.
It was a superb speech. Too bad it was in a den of vipers.
The president should make Thune an offer he can’t refuse.
If not, they should be thrown into the ffkkg street gutters.
Thom Tillis had a freaking dog parade instead of doing his job!
What you saw was Tillis on the dating game.
Too many RINOs and not enough MAGA will ruin your day…Maybe someday traitors will be taken out and shot for treason.
.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack – forgive me for stating the obvious. Citizens ELECT these losers….OR…..the machines select them. I think the latter has been acceptable to them all for years. The entire system is far too corruptable, and that's done on purpose. Sincerely believe that our world will fail to self correct. I read that in a book, and never doubted it – because of who wrote that book.
Murky is against it as it would expose big problems with her election in AL. It would also expose the rigging done to prevent the repeal of Rank choice voting in the same state.
Yup, AK.
Frankenberry killed that!
Congress might, the Senate will not. The GOP Senate delegation is the retirement home for TDS RINO POS. So expect nothing from DJT's agenda to be passed by both houses….. Especially the SAVE Act.
TERRRRRRRRRM
LIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITS!
I want to see the file on who was in the Senate office recording themselves having gay sex. They never told us who was behind it.
You lost me at "Will congress follow up."
Not if John Thune has anything to say about it. Bowing to the orders of McCrooked and his staff YThune intends to give both POTUS and the majority of the American People the middle finger.
Has anyone held a mirror under McConnell's nose lately and checked for steam.
Why would Congress do anything that would maintain the majority past the midterms? That's not what either side wants.
Considering that all of these proposals that Trump requested are straight forward and common sense I have no doubt that the RINO's will do everything in their power to keep these from getting passed into law.
We are the term limiters. Voting for an incumbent who hasn't fixed things, expecting different results is….the definition of insanity!
the do nothing RINO congressional Republicans are just waiting it out til Trump is gone.
They better we are WATCHING and can remember until Nov.
THAT would be a pleasant surprise.
No, they won’t. Congress is for themselves only. They don’t care about us!
At this point, it doesn’t matter whether they do or don’t. It would be nice if elected them and they decided to play ball, but since they don’t, we’ll get it done by executive order with or without them.
For the sake of preserving his and his party's political future, Mr. Thune and his cohorts had better act and quickly.
No, they won’t.
Thune is using the Save AMERICA Act as a bargaining chip to get his precious limited government shut down open again.
Screw securing elections, get that Gov back open.
What scum
I voted for President Trump and his agenda. Congress needs to pass it into law. RINOs who refuse to do their job must be primaried out of Congress.
Congressional Republicans want to lose the majority. Less work in the minority; same pay as majority; a paradise for slugs.
The senate is busy having dog parades.
No.
theyve had enough to do it for a week and a half. so whats the hold up?
Is this a serious question or sarcasm?.
THINE IS THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB FOR THIS TREASONOUS GAME HE'S PLAYING FOR THE GLOBALISTS.
THUNE
Where's my $2000 tariff rebate? Asking for a friend…
LMAO, good one! Also, where is my no tax on seniors over 65 and not just another temporary tax break. I'm afraid we have been hoodwinked good citizens.
LMAO, good one! Also, where is my no tax on seniors over 65 and not just another temporary tax break. I'm afraid we have been hoodwinked good citizens.
No they won't.
They will fail the American People like they have been doing for the last 60 years.
I highly doubt that will do anything .
No
Hell no. Thune and his Rino buddies will torpedo the Save Act and any other legislation worth a damn.
Nope. Not enough grift in it for them.
NOTHING WILL BE DONE
No. The republicans are feckless, and can't muster up a pair of huevos amongst them. They are hoping the commies win the midterms, so they can go beck to fundraising and complaining about what they would do.
When I die I want six Republican Senators at my burial so they can let me down one last time.
Will never happen. Trump can blow all the hot air he wants, but his own party is in open rebellion against him.
MIGA!
The lobby industry sponsored lawyer cartel will not compromise it's strong hold on the Hill.
Helping the executive branch would force the legislative branch to adhere to the Constitution.
Is this a rhetorical question?
Very Doubtful Congress will act even though 80+% of the voters on both sides of the isle are in favor of it.
Congress has become an inept dysfunctional legislative branch of government in tune with “go nowhere” investigations, oversight committees that should be renamed hindsight committees and federal agencies that pass more rules in a single month than Congress does in an entire year. So why do we need Congress who spends a half a year at the Capital building and the other half of the year jet setting around the globe on so called “CODEL” flights not tied to legislation when they are suppose to be on “home duty”?
We could save a lot of time and money eliminating Congress as they currently represent US Taxpayers and voters unless they stay to h9e, tighten their spending belt and start working for those who elected them… “We The People”.
Doubt it, as they are full of traitors. Saw that during the SOTU.
If the SAVE Act Bill is not passed because of RINOs,like Sen.Mitch McConnell and Sen.Lisa 'Murky' Murkowski siding with the Democrats and the Democrats take over the USHOR or possibly both chambers?
Pres. Trump is Toast!
Hands down ,1000% the Democrats will impeach Pres.Trump.
This is No time for losers and RINOs,we need to hold the line!! We lose this one? We're all Toast!
No, they won't.
If Congress doesn’t pull together and pass the Save Act our country is lost forever. This is our last chance to save our country. If they can’t put their ideology and TDS aside for long enough to pass this sensible legislation then they don’t deserve to represent us anymore and can just go the f home. Cowards.
Lets pray the save act is passed and then the democrats rip their hair out in rage
In answer to the question posed in the headline – no. That simple.
If we had a Congress that actually represented the People, this would be a slam dunk. Instead, all we get is horseshit.
Short answer? No. Long answer? No.
Nope they sure won't and they will hand the house to the Dems.
F the GOP, I'm done with it all.
NO!!!
No the RINO's will drag feet thinking we will move on before NOV….Don't keep msg the POS.
This pos congress will do all it can to destroy our country.
Re the headline, the simple answer is no they won't.
Doubt it.
They've been doing nothing of any impact.
No accountability, not enough deportations,
far behind on what matters.
Plenty of well meaning words though.
Will elephants poop gold bricks and learn to fly?
The SAVE Act is merely the newest show in the circus' center ring. Give it a few more days and there will be a whole new act to draw the masses' attention.
When's the last time we heard a word about Fauci? Locking up Hilary for her crimes – outside of Epstein?
It all stars for awhile and then a new show rolls in. And We the People let it all go for the new Dog and Pony Show in the center ring.
It appears that the Establishment Republican RINOs are doing everything in their power to sabotage President Trump and hand full control of The House and Senate to the Democrats in the midterms. They will get their wish.
You forgot the MOST IMPORTANT…..more so than the SAVE Act….END MAIL IN BALLOTS!!!!
These gutless cowards in the GOP congress stood up and applauded, but they turn around and stab Trump and the American people in the back.
We're watching Democrats and GOP Rinos, Seditionist and Marxists destroy our country, while our justice department and Republicans we elected and sent to stop these evil people are silent, gutless and complicit! We cannot count on them for help good citizens! Can't you see, we are on our own as surviving people.
.
We are not "on our own." God is against "these evil people," and He is moving against them, as we type and read these words. Our deliverance is very soon.
.
Deliverance unto communist rule.
Someone said, "John Wayne is dead, the cavalry isn't coming, we are on our own."
Two things we are not allowed to audit or change, The Federal Reserve (Treasury) and Elections! This is how they roll and avoid the 3rd Rail..
The RNC needs to allow the D's to impeach DJT again.
The RNC is and always has been the problem re: Trump
They need the vitriol to raise money and enrich themselves.
Who are these Rinos working for? Someone needs to ask this question to every one of them who does not vote for the Save Act!
Test…
I don't care what party it is, NEITHER PARTY STANDS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ANYMORE. PERIOD!!! And the sad part is everyone keeps saying that the GOP will save us and yet they are a bigger problem than the ANTI AMERICA SCUMBAG dems ever were!!! No, THEY WON'T!!!
You are sadly correct.
As of February 2026, Congress has NOT codified any of President Trump's executive orders issued since January 2025.
Without them codified into law, a future Democrat president can issue EOs canceling all the good actions that Trump took and pick up where they left off on their destruction of America.
Our country will cease to be the leader of free nations and devolve into a Democrat third-world hellhole.
No delay delay delay, did I mention they will delay
To answer the question, no. They have enabled the stalling of everything from appointments to deportations. PDJT is not part of their grifting club so they are biding their time–and hoping the American people don't pay attention.
They will continue to do everything they can to oppose MAGA and President Trump.
Short answer, no.
CONgress will do nothing of the sort.
No !!!!!!
Probably not.
Any senators who are against the Save Act are for election Fraud and illegal aliens voting in all elections.
Pledging allegiance to the Nation has become an engendered specie.
The GOP does not want election ID…they.need the democrat party as their opposition…to have some entity to blame for America's ills….and to raise money.
With ID for voting,and clean elections, the Democrat party might implode and the Republicans will actually have to govern with no excuses for failure.
Will Congress Follow Up on President Trump’s SOTU Requests for Legislation – Especially the SAVE America Act?
SIMPLE ANSWER – NO!!!
Let's give them an easier job, both sides stood up for not allowing Congress to buy stocks while serving, they could pass that today, right?
Hhahaha! If you're holding your breath in anticipation of Congress doing anything…….your days are numbered and you are going to change colors so many times no one will know what race you are!
Why would Congress pass something that works against them…….they use this system to get installed!
That's like trying to get them to pass legislation on term limits!
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
We have to destroy their system…..they will never do it….they built it to protect themselves against….
WE THE PEOPLE!
Everything the people want is opposed by the commie Dems and the Rs in Congress. All they care about is their special interests. And all of our Presidents except Trump have been caretakers or exploiters of their office. If the Rs can hold the House, it will help to save Trump's remaining years.
But all will end in disaster if we don't start to address our debt. It is eating us alive and causing the erosion of our system. No amount of GDP growth can be sustainable to counter that.
Is Hoft serious even asking this question?
Voter exodus = lost conservative voters throwing in towel = voters leaving the gop in record
Numbers
Thume + rino inc = voters rejecting the RINOs
Short answer: no. Congress is the opposite of progress.
With Thune (McConnell 2.0), McConnell, RINOs like Murkowski and the free range Republicans, the illegal voting is probably safe.
There should be "ban communism" act.
Why are the overly progressives in the party holding this up
It’s all WWE. Voters are experiencing the implications of poor and overly liberal leadership
The SOTU is a show, designed to convince the sheep that something is being done. After the show the left, and right sit together spending our tax dollars on free drinks, and expensive dinners, while laughing at us for being so gullible. In other words….no….nothing will ever get done, unless We the People do it !
Only if the UNI-PARTY wants to pass it.
Satan's Democrat Party is the Enemy Within and will not allow the pasage of the Save America Act.
Short answer? No.
In a word….No.
Republicans have positioned themselves well to lose the midterms. Meaning the 2nd half of Trump's term will be a repeat of his 1st term. Nothing but impeachment hearings and trials. Because both sides know nothing else will get done in congress.
Voters should have more say in who is elected senator. The GOP is a F'ing mess. 4 progressive senators choosing to ignore the will of the people and the president.
BROKEN SYSTEM….Go to hell treason laden and rino infested GOP
NO, they are too busy doing Fueking DOG PARADES.
Thune is a joke. Call you senator!!!~
Don't hold your breath. Do-nothing Thune is a thorn in the side of America.
No mail-in voting. No counting past election day. Hand counting.
At this point, guess it is up to the remaining 49 GOP Senators to take control of this issue. If those 49 GOP Senators allow the 4 malcontents to stop this–its on them!
If Trump wants legislation passed, then he knows how to pressure Republicans to fall in line. And mentioning something occasionally or throwing in a line at the state of the union doesn't really mean anything. He'll be working congress over if there's a bill he really cares about. If he just says he'd like a bill passed, then the next thing you hear from him is he complains after it fails to pass, then you know he didn't really care to begin with. Not to be cynical, but Trump is still a politician like the rest of them, and we have to stay on top of him.
The minimum should be securing the elections, no compromising, otherwise the Democrat lying, cheating, and gaslighting will continue unabated, for Thune to avoid that goal is traitorous to all Americans!
Only if Thune passes away . Mitch gave him his orders and Thune got off his knees saying "Yessah Mr. Mitch."
