I will continue to fight tirelessly to ... enforce our laws
Enforce the laws.
Occurrences
Evidence
This week, Congressman Lance Gooden (TX-05) introduced the Protect the Presidency Act, which would treat an attempted assassination of the President the same as a fatal assassination under federal law, including making offenders eligible for the death penalty.
Assessments
The promise to "Enforce the laws" is broad, but the available evidence only shows Gooden introduced the Protect the Presidency Act in May 2026 to increase penalties for attempted presidential assassination. Introducing a bill is a serious legislative attempt related to law enforcement, but there is no evidence that the bill passed or that the promised enforcement outcome was delivered. Under the adjudication rule, a serious attempt that fails to deliver should be marked never with effort credit.
