4. Require Congress to approve new tariffs before they take effect

Her campaign website says she wrote the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and expand the protections of the Voting Rights Act.⁹

2. Keep current law, as the Supreme Court read it in 2026, without the federal approval requirement

1. Let all military retirees with service-connected disabilities collect both payments in full
2. Expand benefits for some groups, such as combat-injured retirees with under 20 years of service and surviving spouses who remarry
3. Keep current rules, which already pay both in full to some retirees, such as those with 20 or more years of service and a disability rating of at least 50%
