Congress set up USPS to be an independent federal agency that delivers mail to basically the entire population of the United States.

Well, that Save America Act Miles was just talking about, it's stuck in the Senate.

You know, this is a bill that would require voters to show a photo ID when casting a ballot in federal elections.

It would set up this new citizenship verification system for voters when registering to vote, showing a document proving their citizenship.

The House has passed a version of this bill.

That was back in February.

But the Senate has not held a final vote on whether to pass it yet.

And Congress is on spring break right now until mid-April.

So it's unclear what the path is forward right now.

But the bottom line, politically speaking, is that Democrats in the Senate are against this bill and there are some Republicans also oppose it.

So at this point, this bill still faces really tough odds of becoming law.

I think we should point out also that states already have systems in place to verify voters who are registered aren't eligible, including that they are U.S.

citizens, that their systems already in place.

So it's not like this is creating a system that doesn't exist.

Well, Trump's latest order is calling for the Department of Homeland Security to create these lists of adult U.S.

citizens.

And it's saying agencies should use citizenship and naturalization records, Social Security Administration records and other federal data.

I should note, though, you know, the lawsuits filed so far, they argue these lists that Trump is ordering to be created that they cannot be created.

The lawsuits say and used in time for this year's federal elections, including the primaries, without violating the Privacy Act.

You know, that law requires notifying the public and getting consent ahead of time.
