一批民主党参议员一致认为，国会应续签政府的监视权限以保障国家安全。
当被问及在当前国内外恐怖主义威胁持续存在的情况下，是否应重新授权该权限时，弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·沃纳、佛蒙特州民主党参议员彼得·韦尔奇和特拉华州民主党参议员克里斯·孔斯均表示同意，但同时提出了围绕《外国情报监控法》（FISA）第702条的不同担忧。
国会允许这项允许美国情报机构无需搜查令即可对境外外国人进行电子监视的关键监视工具于6月12日失效，这是该条款2008年生效以来首次过期。不过，情报官员指出，现有监视活动仍可继续，因为外国情报监控法院已将该项目重新认证至2027年3月。
此外，参议院情报委员会主席沃纳参议员对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“并没有出现权限中断”，因为通信服务商仍有法律义务向情报机构移交相关资料。

“这一状态随时可能终止，这也是我们需要尽快完成续签的原因，”沃纳强调道。
韦尔奇参议员虽然支持续签该权限，但表示议员们应确保对美国民众的保护措施仍然有效。国会中的部分人士认为，该监视项目可能被用于监控本国公民。
“目前仍在审议中，同时会保护我们本国平民，不过没错，这是一项好用的工具，”韦尔奇在国会山对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。
6月初，民主党人投票反对续签《外国情报监控法》第702条，以抗议特朗普总统任命联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特尔担任代理国家情报总监（DNI），导致该条款就此过期。
提名普尔特尔一事仍极具争议，引发了议员们的广泛担忧，他们指出普尔特尔在该领域缺乏经验，不应获得美国情报信息的临时访问权限。

“是的，我们应该重新授权FISA，”孔斯说道，“同时我也认为比尔·普尔特尔根本不应该接触我们的情报系统。”
对普尔特尔的批评来自两党，多名共和党参议员也对他的情报从业资质提出质疑。
特朗普上周原定为其国家情报总监候选人杰伊·克莱顿举行参议院情报委员会确认听证会，随后强行推迟，普尔特尔已于周五就任新职。前国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德本月因丈夫罹患罕见癌症而辞职。

特朗普还表示，除非将续签与《保障美国选民资格法案》（SAVE法案）绑定，否则他不会签署第702条的续签法案。该法案要求选民在联邦选举中投票时提供公民身份证明和带照片的身份证件。

“如果法案未能续签，原因只有一个，不幸的是，那就是特朗普总统，”沃纳说道。
这形成了僵局：多名民主党人已表示，只要普尔特尔仍是特朗普提名的代理国家情报总监人选，他们就不会支持续签第702条。

A group of Democrat senators all agreed Congress should renew the government’s spying powers to ensure national security.
When asked whether the authority should be reauthorized amid ongoing foreign and domestic terror threats, Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., Peter Welch, D-Vt., and Chris Coons, D-Del., all agreed while raising different concerns surrounding Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Congress let the key spying tool that allows American intelligence agencies to electronically spy on foreigners abroad without a warrant to expire on June 12 for the first time since its enactment in 2008. Intelligence officials, however, note that existing surveillance activity can continue because the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court recertified the program through March 2027.
Additionally, Senate Intelligence Chairman Sen. Warner argued to Fox News Digital that “there has not been a lapse” because communications providers remain legally obligated to turn over material to intelligence agencies

“That could end at any point, and why we need to get it renewed,” Warner insisted.
Sen. Welch, while backing renewal of the authority, said lawmakers should ensure protections remain in place for Americans. Some in Congress argue the surveillance could be used to spy on citizens.
“It’s still under consideration with protections for our own civilians, but yeah, it’s a good tool,” Welch told Fox News Digital at the Capitol.
FISA 702 expired earlier in June after Democrats voted against its renewal in protest of President Donald Trump’s appointing of Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to be acting director of national intelligence (DNI).
Tapping Pulte remains a deeply divisive decision that has drawn widespread concern among lawmakers who point to his lack of experience in the industry as to why he should not have interim access to U.S. intelligence information.

“Yes, we should reauthorize FISA,” Coons said. “I also think Bill Pulte doesn’t belong anywhere near our intelligence system.”
Criticism of Pulte has come from both sides of the aisle, with several Republican senators also questioning his intelligence credentials.
Pulte began in his new role on Friday after Trump forcefully postponed last week’s scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing for his Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton. Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard resigned from the position this month due to her husband’s rare cancer diagnosis.

Trump has also said he will not sign a renewal of Section 702 unless it is tied to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require voters provide proof of citizenship and a photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections.

“There’s one reason if it’s not renewed, and that’s unfortunately President Trump,” Warner said.
This sets up a stalemate as several Democrats have said they will not support reauthorizing Section 702 while Pulte remains Trump’s acting DNI pick.
