That\u2019s common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2052\">Trump optimistic about Iran deal even as questions linger about Lebanon, remaining nuclear material<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccurrent version\u201d of the SAVE America Act that the speaker referenced passed the House but stalled in the Senate amid a Democratic filibuster.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfull version\u201d Mr. Trump is demanding would also ban states from automatically sending out mail-in ballots to all registered voters and block biological men from playing in women\u2019s sports and \u201ctransgender mutilation\u201d procedures on children.<\/p>\n<p>That version lacks enough GOP support to pass either chamber, let alone clear a filibuster in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer of New York called the SAVE America Act \u201cthe most vicious piece of anti-voting rights legislation Trump has ever come up with\u201d and said the president\u2019s push to attach it to a FISA reauthorization is \u201cdeeply reckless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, Trump proves he has no problem undermining Americans\u2019 national security if he thinks it will help him politically,\u201d Mr. Schumer said.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Democrats are filibustering both short- and long-term extensions of FISA in opposition to Mr. Trump tapping William J. Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence effective this Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. \u00a0Trump has nominated Jay Clayton, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and a former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, to serve as the permanent DNI.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Clayton\u2019s confirmation hearing is Wednesday. Mr. Thune said \u201cit would be nice\u201d if the Senate could vote to confirm him by the end of the week, but that would require consent from all 100 senators to speed up the voting process.<\/p>\n<p>Quick Senate confirmation of Mr. Clayton could prevent Mr. Pulte from serving in the DNI role.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr. Trump complained in one of his social media posts that some Democrats are opposed to renewing FISA regardless, so he has no incentive to stop Mr. Pulte from going to DNI.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats say they oppose Mr. Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, serving as DNI because he lacks national security experience and used confidential mortgage information to target the president\u2019s political enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=2050\">B-52 Stratofortress crashes after takeoff at Edwards Air Force base in California<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GOP congressional leaders will not attach the SAVE America Act to legislation reauthorizing an expired foreign surveillance authority, as President Trump demanded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
