国情咨文演讲始终围绕着愿景展开。无论你是里根、克林顿、奥巴马、布什家族还是特朗普，愿景都是国情咨文的精髓。这是总统希望实现的目标，以及总统希望国会采取的行动。
所有这些都服务于政治愿景的终极目标：赢得选举。无论是下一次总统选举，还是中期选举中的参众两院席位。
本周，特朗普总统提出了两项重大请求和一项告诫。他希望国会批准《SAVE法案》，要求投票者提供公民身份证明；希望议员们通过一项股票交易禁令，限制国会成员进行股票交易；并要求国会不要干预关税政策。
特朗普总统吹嘘他的新关税政策，称这些政策最终将取代国家所得税。这位总司令比任何其他总统都更广泛地运用了行政权力，因此他指示议员们交出关税制定权。
“国会的行动是不必要的，”特朗普在谈到他的新关税时说道。
宪法赋予国会征收关税的权力。最高法院上周维持了这一权力。但特朗普总统仍继续对所有国家施加另一套关税，依据的是另一项法律。

像大多数总统一样，特朗普希望控制立法进程，包括阻止国会干预他的关税政策。然而，许多共和党人有自己的政治愿景：再次当选。这就是为什么一些认为其选区受到关税严重冲击的众议院共和党人希望重新夺回这一权力，或者至少公开反对总统。
几周前，众议院投票取消了众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人Mike Johnson等人制定的一项特殊规则，该规则旨在阻止议员们在一年内取消关税。随后，众议院通过了一项计划，撤销对加拿大的关税。

但这些只是部分受关税困扰的共和党人的愿景。大多数共和党人仍希望维持关税，而这正是特朗普想要的——无论最高法院如何裁决。

让我们回到特朗普在演讲中提出的两项主要立法请求。《SAVE法案》是他最希望通过的法案。这与特朗普关于非法移民、他声称拜登前总统窃取2020年选举以及选民欺诈的说法完美契合。
“他们想作弊，他们已经作弊了。而且他们的政策如此糟糕，以至于唯一能让他们当选的方式就是作弊，”总统在谈到民主党人时说道，“作弊现象非常普遍。”

保守派智库传统基金会的一项关于选举欺诈的研究发现，选举欺诈案例非常罕见。例如，摇摆州宾夕法尼亚州在过去三十年中仅发现了39起投票欺诈案例。
众议院已批准《SAVE法案》，但问题在于参议院。
“参议院正在工作。我认为那里的每个共和党人显然都支持《保障美国选民资格法案》，他们正在努力拼凑足够的票数。这是一个70%民主党反对的议题，在一些民意调查中超过90%的人支持。”约翰逊说道，“希望一些民主党人能清醒过来。我不知道他们如何能对选民说自己反对这一如此受欢迎的法案。我们将看看结果如何。”
事实证明，“看看结果如何”正是关键。
值得注意的是，在呼吁国会通过《SAVE法案》时，特朗普并未要求参议员们废除阻挠议事规则。目前已有50名共和党参议员支持《SAVE法案》。但关键在于，这些支持者能否达到打破阻挠议事所需的60票门槛。
南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖John Thune多次抵制为通过《SAVE法案》而改变参议院阻挠议事的惯例和先例。除非参议院改变规则，否则该法案永远无法成为法律。Thune重申了他反对废除阻挠议事规则的立场。
犹他州共和党参议员Mike Lee、德克萨斯州共和党参议员Ted Cruz等人主张“发言阻挠议事”，即参议员必须连续数小时发言并占据发言权，否则参议院必须进行投票。支持发言阻挠议事的人不希望参议员们在一旁默默反对。这迫使参议院进行程序性投票，需要60票才能克服阻挠议事。
Leavitt要求参议院共和党人‘行动起来’废除阻挠议事规则以推进特朗普议程
“关于发言阻挠议事，共和党内部并没有统一的立场。如果走这条路，就必须达成统一。”Thune说道。
他提到，共和党必须“在几乎每次投票中保持50名共和党人的团结”，并补充说“目前没有这样的支持”。

福克斯新闻还了解到，众议院和参议院共和党人之间存在一些摩擦。一些参议院共和党人不欣赏众议院加大压力要求废除阻挠议事规则。无论两党，阻挠议事权都是参议员们紧紧捍卫的特权。

此外，让参议院进行长时间辩论可能会引发修正案投票，而许多脆弱的参议员可能对此感到不安。在选举前，让他们在一系列有争议的问题上表态对共和党不利。
因此，虽然特朗普希望通过《SAVE法案》，但他关于废除阻挠议事规则的愿景充其量是不明确的。
还有一项愿景是禁止议员交易股票。甚至马萨诸塞州民主党参议员Elizabeth Warren在特朗普提出这一请求时也站起来鼓掌。
约翰逊表示，众议院正在“尽可能积极和迅速地推进该法案”，但他表示需要“有足够的票数支持”。
这就是众议院尚未处理该法案的原因——缺乏足够的票数。至少目前，这只是一个愿景。如果该法案获得足够票数，约翰逊将把它提交到众议院表决。
有句老话是“总统提出建议，国会决定执行”。今年，即使是共和党控制的国会也有可能对特朗普的一些立法愿望做出让步，但这并不妨碍总统的政治愿景。毕竟，总统也可以有梦想。

President outlined key priorities including the SAVE Act requiring citizenship proof for voting and a congressional stock trading ban
By Chad Pergram | Fox News

State of the Union speeches are all about aspirations. It doesn’t matter if you’re Reagan. Clinton, Obama, the Bush tandem or Trump. Aspirations are the quintessence of State of the Union speeches. What presidents aspire to do. And what a president wants Congress to do.
All of this flows toward the ultimate of political aspirations: winning elections. Be it the next presidential election. Or, House and Senate seats during the midterms.
There were two big asks — and one admonition — from President Donald Trump this week. He wants Congress to approve the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for people to vote. He wants lawmakers to pass a stock trading ban, handcuffing Congress from dealing in stocks. And the President doesn’t want Congress to meddle in tariff policy.
President Trump touted his new tariffs, arguing that they will eventually replace the nation’s income tax. This commander-in-chief has wielded executive power more broadly than any other president. So he instructed lawmakers to trade in their tariff authority.
“Congressional action will not be necessary,” Trump said of his new tariffs.
The Constitution blesses Congress with the power to impose tariffs. The Supreme Court upheld that power last week. But President Trump went ahead and slapped another set of tariffs on all nations, leaning on a different law.

Like most presidents, Trump wants to control legislation. That includes precluding Congress from tampering with his tariffs. However, a number of Republicans have their own aspirations: getting re-elected. That’s why some House Republicans, who believe their districts are getting hammered by tariffs, would like to reclaim that power. Or, at the very least, be on the record opposing the president.
The House voted a few weeks ago to extinguish a special rule House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and others put in place to block members from unwinding the tariffs for a year. Then the House adopted a plan to undo tariffs with Canada.

But again, these are aspirations of some Republicans fed up with tariffs. The bulk of Republicans are okay with keeping them in place. And that’s exactly what Trump wants – regardless of what the Supreme Court decided.

Let’s go back to Trump’s two major legislative asks in his speech. The SAVE Act is the one he really wants to be passed. This fits nicely with Trump’s narrative about illegal immigration, his claim that former President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election and voter fraud.
“They want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat,” said the President of Democrats during his speech. “Cheating is rampant.”

A study examining election fraud by the conservative Heritage Foundation, discovered that examples of election fraud are minuscule. For instance, Pennsylvania, a swing state, has only unearthed 39 instances of voting fraud over the past three decades.
The House already approved the SAVE Act. But the question is the Senate.
“The Senate is working. I think every Republican over there is obviously in favor of the SAVE America Act, and they’re trying to cobble together the votes. It’s a 70% Democrat issue. It’s over 90% in some polls,” said Johnson. “Hopefully, some Democrats will come to their senses. I don’t know how they can go home to their voters and say that they were opposing that when it’s such a popular issue. So we’ll see how it goes.”
See how it goes is right.
It was notable that in his plea for Congressional action on the SAVE Act, Trump did not demand that senators end the filibuster. Fifty GOP senators now support the SAVE Act. But the trick is whether those who endorse the legislation can hit the magic threshold of 60 yeas. That’s the number of votes required to break a filibuster.
Senate Majority leader John Thune, R-S.D., has repeatedly resisted altering the Senate’s filibuster customs and precedents to pass the SAVE Act. The bill will never become law unless the Senate changes things. And Thune reiterated his opposition to undoing the filibuster.
Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and others have advocated a “talking filibuster.” That means senators must actually speak and hold the floor for hours on end. Otherwise, the Senate must vote. Talking filibuster proponents don’t want senators to silently object from the sidelines. That’s what compels the Senate to take procedural votes needing 60 yeas to overcome a filibuster.
“The talking filibuster issue is one on which there is not a unified Republican conference. And there would have to be (unity) if you go down that path,” said Thune.
He mentioned that the GOP must “keep 50 Republicans unified pretty much on every single vote,” adding that “there isn’t the support for doing that at this point.”

Fox News is also told that there is some friction between House and Senate Republicans. Some Senate Republicans don’t appreciate the House amping up pressure to ditch the filibuster. The right to filibuster is a privilege to which senators of both parties cling tightly.

Moreover, subjecting the Senate to lengthy debate could tee up amendment votes which many vulnerable senators may find unsettling. Getting them on the record on a host of controversial issues wouldn’t help the GOP ahead of the election.
So, while it’s Trump’s aspiration to pass the SAVE Act, his aspirations regarding the filibuster are unclear at best.
Then, there’s the aspiration about prohibiting lawmakers from trading stocks. Even Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., stood and applauded when Trump made that entreaty.

Johnson said that the House is trying to “move (the bill) as aggressively and as quickly as we can.” But says he’s got to have “the votes for it.”
That’s the reason the House hasn’t addressed the bill yet. It lacks the votes. For now, that is an aspiration. If the bill has the votes, Johnson will deposit the legislation on the floor.

There’s an old expression that the president “proposes” and Congress “disposes.” It’s certainly possible that even a GOP Congress will do that this year with some of Trump’s legislative wishes.
But that doesn’t handicap presidential aspirations. After all, even presidents can dream.
