Mr. President, as I said, I am a cosponsor of the SAVE America Act. This SAVE America Act ensures only U.S. citizens are registered to vote in Federal elections, and it also requires voter ID when voting. Now, that is pretty simple. It is so simple that 85 percent of Americans generally support those principles of voter ID and only citizens voting. Even 71 percent of the Democrats in polls also support that. Now, what I have inserted in the Record is what I have heard from some Iowa constituents who would say that while election integrity is important, noncitizen voting is not an issue. Some of my constituents even accept that noncitizen voting happens, but at the same time, they say it is not that often, so we should just ignore it. That is not how the rule of law works, and we all take an oath to uphold the rule of law. And I will bet every one of our constituents say the rule of law is a principle applying in America and it should be fully supported.

Expanding E15 availability lowers gas prices by 20 to 40 cents per gallon on average. That could mean around $400 per year in savings for a U.S. household—precious dollars that could be spent on other needs.
