Mr. RISCH

Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, I come to the floor today in strong support of a bill that I have supported from the very beginning, that being the SAVE America Act. The SAVE America Act is common sense. At its core, this legislation is about something very simple: protecting the integrity of our elections. All this bill does is it ensures that U.S. citizens vote in U.S. elections and that when you show up to vote, you have to prove who you are. That is not too much to ask of someone who is showing up to vote. It is common sense. Now, while it is simple, it is also essential. The right to vote is the foundation of our Republic. Trusted, secure elections are what have made us the greatest Nation in the world and the beacon of freedom for nearly 250 years. We cannot take this for granted. Across the country, we have seen radical groups weaken election integrity and chip away at Americans' confidence in elections. In some places, voter rolls have been padded with noncitizens, and basic verification methods have become an afterthought, which undermine the constitutional rights of the rest of us who are American citizens. The SAVE America Act puts a stop to this by requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote--something many States, including my State of Idaho, already enforce. Idaho already has some of the most secure elections in the Nation. The SAVE America Act simply holds the rest of the country to the same standard we follow in the Gem State, thus ensuring that all of us in America are held to the same standard and to an election that is a believable election that has the confidence of Americans. There has been a great deal of misinformation regarding the SAVE America Act, so let me state clearly what this act does and does not do. First, the SAVE America Act does not federalize our elections. It keeps them squarely in the hands of the States, as it should be. Second, some of my Democrat colleagues claim this legislation is voter suppression. That is simply false. The requirements to vote in our elections are clear: You must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and a resident of the State where you are registered. That is not too much to ask. It certainly doesn't suppress votes. The SAVE America Act does not change those requirements or add unnecessary redtape. What it does do is to ensure that the most fundamental requirement--U.S. citizenship--is actually verified when someone registers to vote. Under current law, individuals can register to vote in Federal elections by simply checking a box claiming they are a citizen. The SAVE America Act closes that loophole by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship at the beginning of the voter registration process. It only needs to be done once. That is not voter suppression. It is basic election integrity. Third, Democrats are arguing that requiring identification makes voting harder. But Americans already show identification for countless--countless-- activities in routine, daily life. We need it to drive a car. We need it to board an airplane. We need it to go to work for a job, and so much more. If we expect ID for these basic actions, it is only reasonable to expect the proof of citizenship before someone is allowed to participate in Federal elections. Poll after poll shows that the vast majority of Americans-- Republicans and Democrats and Independents--support requiring identification and proof of citizenship to vote. So let's do our job and vote for what the American people want. Every American should have confidence that when they cast a ballot, their vote counts and is not diluted by noncitizens voting in the same election. The SAVE America Act ensures that is what happens. Safeguarding our elections is not only common sense. It is integral for a country like the United States of America that is a robust democracy to have in order for people to have confidence in the country. That is why I am committed to doing what it takes to pass the SAVE America Act. I am proud to support this bill and work with my Republican colleagues to get it to the President Trump's desk to be signed into law.

Mr. RISCH. Mr. President and fellow Senators, this is--I have lost count now--the fourth or fifth time I have come to the floor to once again defend America against these dangerous, obstructive resolutions that the Democrats have been putting out here. What they are asking us to do is to put our tail between our legs and leave the battlefield and surrender the battlefield to the Iranians. We are not going to do that. Democrats are attempting to stop the administration from keeping Americans safe through these defensive actions against Iran. They say that Donald Trump started this war or that America started this war. Neither of those is true or even close to it. This war started 47 years ago when this regime, the Iranian regime, broke into our Embassy in Tehran and took as hostage a great number of American diplomats and held them for 444 days. That is how long this has been going on. If that is all they did--and it was bad--one might say that it didn't deserve this action. The problem you have is, over these 47 years, the Iranians have again and again and again--when I say Iranians, I am talking about the administration that is there, the regime that is there, not the Iranian people--they have again and again killed Americans. How many have they killed? They have killed in the thousands of Americans through IEDs and all kinds of other devices that they have used over these 47 years. This is not right. It needs to come to a stop. It needs to come to an end. And the President did what he did because they were very close to having a nuclear weapon. Can you imagine if we were having this debate out here, and the Iranians actually had a nuclear weapon? It would be a very different place. The troops that we have in the Middle East are in danger as a result of this resolution. The resolution would put them further in danger if it passed. According to the Constitution, it is the President's duty to protect and defend the United States, which he is doing, and he did what he did because it was necessary to defend America. As I said, for 47 years, the Middle East has been progressing more and more toward peace and security. It is a very different Middle East than when I started this. All countries have moved toward the middle. All countries have moved toward a much more peaceful existence in the Middle East, with one exception, and that exception, of course, is Iran. The Iranian terrorist regime aims to censor, threaten, murder anyone who questions its radical theology but especially Americans. The Middle East has a bright future. I am more optimistic today than I have ever been about the Middle East because Iran now stands alone. There were days in the past when Iran did not stand alone, but they are standing alone now. I think people will look back at what has happened in the Middle East and see the Abraham Accords and see a point in which there was considerable inflection and at a time when things changed. Our Commander in Chief is committed to see this through to the objectives that he has set out. To our brave men and women who are on the battlefield in and near Iran, we support you. You are supporting Operation Epic Fury. We support you. We have your back here. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed, and we will continue to have your back. I have said this before, and I am going to say it again. To Iran, no one is coming to help you. There is no one on this planet--not the Chinese, not the Russians, not the North Koreans, not Venezuela, not Cuba, no one on this planet is coming to help you, except the 47 people that sit over here. They are trying to help you tonight. They are not going to help you. We are not going to allow these people to help Iran. To our troops that are in the battlefield, I say to you: We have your back. We will see that these people do not do what they are trying to do. We are not going to turn tail. We are not going to leave. The President of the United States is going to continue this until the objectives are achieved. Mr. President, fellow Senators, I urge you tonight to join me in defeating this resolution as we have done over and over again, as we will do again tonight, to stand by our troops in the Middle East.

Mr. RISCH

Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, I rise today to oppose the resolution that my Democrat friends brought here to the floor. It is very short--only a few pages long--but the operative part of it is only 18 words. It is on page 3. It says: Congress hereby directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran. Real simple--they are telling the President he must stop and remove our troops from the conflict that we are currently involved in. It is important to remember what we are doing here and what the Democrats are trying to do here. I am going to talk in two different parts. One is of the War Powers Act and the Constitution. We have all sat through hundreds of hours of argument on this. So I am not going to spend a lot of time on it. The third part is how we got here, where we are, and where we are going, which is a little more interesting, I think. In any event, as far as the War Powers Act, it was enacted in 1973 by Congress. It was designed to try to cut into the constitutional powers of the President under article II of the Constitution. Every single President--every one of them since then, Democrat and Republican--has refused to accept this as constitutional, the War Powers Act. They have always said that it infringes on the President's article II constitutional authorities to defend the American people and to complete the oath they have taken to defend the country. So 45 of the last 47 Presidents, which is all we have had, have ordered kinetic acts--just like President Trump has done--without going to Congress. This isn't new. This has happened in 45 of the last 47 Presidencies. Article II of the Constitution clearly gives the President not only the right but, indeed, the duty, as does his oath, to protect the United States. Having said all of this, the claim is that what the President did is illegal. Well, if that is what they really believe over here, then what are we doing here? All we are doing is yakking here. What they should do is go across the street to the Court and file suit, if it is illegal, to stop it. They sue him three times every day before breakfast. What difference does one more lawsuit make? That is what they should do. That is the remedy if they think it is illegal. Now, more interesting are the three parts of this: How did we get here? Where are we in this moment? Where do we go from here? Forty-seven years ago, this started. What you had was the Iranians take over our Embassy in Iran. They illegally held and kidnapped and restrained our diplomats there--a number of them--for 444 days. At that point in time, 47 years ago, there were two sides. On one side was us, the United States and Israel. On the other side was Iran and all the other actors in the region, the Arab countries that surrounded them. That was the difference from where things were then as to where they are today. What has happened over the last 47 years is the Arab countries have gotten tired of this. They are sick and tired of this. So where are we today? We are at the point today where you have only one bad apple left in the region, and that is Iran--and, of course, their proxies, the three agents--Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, all of whom are actually just part of Iran. When Iran is defeated--and they will be here--the three agents are gone too. Hezbollah has been badly decimated already. The other two-- Hamas has been almost decimated completely, and the Houthis are still around. But all three of those are going to be gone when, indeed, Iran is defeated, which it will be here before very long. So over these 47 years, what Iran has done--while the Arab counties have moved away, while they have moved to wanting peace and security in the region--they have continued to murder thousands of Americans. They have killed thousands of Americans. I grabbed the list and was going to bring it out here. It would take me about half an hour to read all of the sins that the Iranians have committed over these 47 years. So we are left in a very, very different place today. The Arab countries want nothing to do with this, and we are going to deal with a different Middle East than what we have. Today, I am more optimistic than I have ever been about the Middle East. I really believe that when we end this and the Iranian regime is brought down, we are going to have a Middle East that is going to be very peaceful, and it is going to be a different Middle East as we go forward. The people will look back at this and say: When did that happen? I think the turning point was the Abraham Accords, but in addition to that, it has happened in other respects also. You say: Well, what evidence do you have of that? You know, during the Hamas war between Israel and Hamas, the Iranians decided one day to launch 300 missiles against Israel, and they did that. None of those landed. None of those did any damage because of the overhead defense they have, but also, you had Israeli pilots, U.S. pilots, British pilots, and French pilots flying to protect Israel and take out these missiles. That is not the big news. On that same night, the big news is that two Arab countries were also flying. Jordan and the Saudis were flying to protect Israel from the onslaught of missiles from Iran. That is clear evidence that the Middle East has changed. It is a different place today, and it is continuing to be a better place. Since this most recent war broke out, the Arab countries have decided to side with us and side against Iran. They are all by themselves. Iran is decimated. That is where we are at this moment. Their navy is at the bottom of the sea. Their air force is nonexistent. Yesterday, a Yak-130 took off in Iran. It lasted just moments in the air before it was taken out by one of our F-35s. They are done. They are through. Their missiles and their drone stockpiles are dwindling and dwindling badly. The strikes are becoming less and less that they are able to put out there. This is going to end, and it is going to end rapidly. This is not a forever war--indeed, not even close to it. This is going to end very quickly. The Commander in Chief ordered this attack because of the increase in the manufacturing of long- and medium-range missiles and after trying to restart the nuclear program that was decimated in the 12-day war. All this time, they had us sitting at the table, dragging out and yakking away at negotiations that were going absolutely nowhere. For that reason, he did what he did, and that is, ordered our brave young men and women to do what they are doing today. The message to the regime I would have today for them is, no one is coming to help. I said that before in the 12-year war; I was right. Today, the same is true. China is not coming. Russia is not coming. North Korea is not coming. Cuba is not coming. Venezuela is not coming. They are not coming to help you, Iran. No one is coming. But there is one entity left that is trying to help you, Iran regime, only one on this planet, and that is my friends over here. They have brought this--and you heard the language I said. They are trying to use the process of the U.S. Senate to stop our Commander in Chief from doing what he has set out to do. No other entity on the planet is attempting to help you, Iran. Nobody. Nobody except one, and that one is right here. But we are going to end that now. It ends now. It ends here in a few moments when we have this vote. To our brave men and women, I say: You are fighting to accomplish the task and the objectives that the President, our Commander in Chief, has given you. We are proud of you. We are about to help you. Know this: We have your back. We are about to defeat here on this floor the last entity that is trying to stop you from doing the job that the President of the United States has given you. Bless you for what you are doing. Bless the United States of America.

Mr. RISCH

Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, I rise today to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Boise Airport. This milestone is a celebration of the airport's history and its contributions to our regional commerce, travel, and national defense. The Boise Airport is a remarkable display of Idaho excellence. In 1926, volunteers from the city of Boise and nearby towns, including the Boy Scouts and veterans of the Civil, Indian, and Spanish-American wars, came together to build Idaho's first municipal airport along the Boise River, the site of present-day Boise State University. On April 6, 1926, the first U.S. commercial airmail flight took off, marking the beginning of a new era for the Gem State. By 1936, the city of Boise began acquiring the land for the current airport at Gowen Field Air National Guard Base. Two years later, it was home to an 8,800-foot-long runway, the longest in the Nation at the time. Shortly after the United States entered World War II in 1941, Gowen Field was leased by the Army Air Corps, where over 6,000 personnel were stationed during the war. The airport became a combat training school for B-24 Liberator bomber and B-17 Flying Fortress crews. These troops were deployed to units like the 100th Bomb Group in the European theater. Since World War II, the airport has maintained a strong civilian-military partnership with the Air National Guard, enhancing our national security and local economy. Over the past century, the Boise Airport has become a critical asset for the city of Boise and our region. In 2025, the airport served more than 5 million passengers and supported over 32,000 commercial flights on 8 airlines, consistently outpacing national averages. It now connects travelers to 27 nonstop destinations, bolstering Boise's reputation as one of the fastest growing cities in the country. The Boise Airport contributes nearly $3 billion annually to the State's economy, supporting tens of thousands of jobs in aviation, logistics, hospitality, and related industries across the Gem State. Ongoing expansion projects will ensure the airport meets the needs of Boiseans, can support Idaho's growing population and economy, and deliver top- tier traveler satisfaction. I am confident the Boise Airport will continue to be a vital engine of opportunity for Idahoans, forging connections to people and industries across the country. Congratulations to the exceptional leadership and staff on this extraordinary milestone.

Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, as a member and former chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, each month I recognize and celebrate the American entrepreneurial spirit by highlighting the success of a small business in my home State of Idaho. Today, I am proud to honor Noble-T Arbor of Lewiston as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for February 2026. Founded in 2023 by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Tyler Wolff, Noble-T Arbor tackles tree trimming needs across the Lewis-Clark Valley. Named after Tyler's three sons, the business embodies strong family values and expert craftsmanship. Rooted in military discipline, character, and service, Noble-T has become a trusted name for local, high-quality, integrity-driven arbor services. After 4 years of military service, including a deployment to Iraq and stationing in Okinawa, Tyler returned home to Lewiston to further his education. While exploring several trades, he discovered a passion for forestry and arboriculture. Tyler went on to join the U.S. Forest Service and later worked in power-line clearance tree trimming, where he rose through the ranks to become a foreman. With more than a decade of forestry experience, Tyler and his business partner made the leap to start Noble-T. As a Lewiston native, Tyler is deeply invested in giving back to the community. Through Noble-T, Tyler regularly offers discounted or no- cost services to families in need, elderly residents, churches, and individuals facing hardship. Noble-T also partners with Jackson's Pay It Forward Foundation to assist local children with health issues. Congratulations to Tyler and the entire Noble-T Arbor team on being recognized as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for February 2026. Your dedication to excellence makes Idaho proud, and I look forward to your continued growth and success.

In keeping with the committee's intention to see that relevant information is still available to the full Senate, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the notifications that have been received. If the cover letter references a classified annex, then such an annex is available to all Senators in the office of the Foreign Relations Committee, room SD-423.
