House Set to Pass SAVE America Act for Fourth Time, Johnson Says
The U.S. House will pass the Save America Act for a fourth time, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-4) told Fox News on Sunday.
The bill package aims to ensure that only citizens vote in federal elections by showing proof of citizenship when registering to vote and by showing a valid ID before voting.
Johnson told Fox News that Republicans will try to place the package in a reconciliation bill to avoid the required 60 votes in the Senate.
"I told the President, I don't have any tattoos, but if I did, it'd say 'SAVE AMERICA' on my shoulder. Okay, we passed it three times in the House already. We're going to pass it AGAIN."
Johnson said that these are “90-10” public issues.
If the House passes the bill, it will be sent to the Senate, where Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) hasn’t been able to get enough votes to pass.
Earlier in June, four Senate Republicans – Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) – joined Democrats to vote against the bill.
