House Set to Pass SAVE America Act for Fourth Time, Johnson Says

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.
