US EditionTrump Opposes GOP Effort to Attach SAVE Act to Shutdown Bill as Conservatives Express Discontent
House conservatives demand the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act be added to a Trump-backed funding package, threatening delay amid a partial government shutdown.
- On Monday, House conservatives led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pressed to attach the SAVE Act, while President Donald Trump tried to quell a rebellion over his Senate-negotiated funding deal.
- Given a one-vote House margin, Mike Johnson, House Speaker, R-La., can tolerate little dissent as the funding package negotiated with Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, passed the Senate last week.
- The SAVE Act would require states to obtain in-person proof of citizenship for voter registration and remove non-citizens, while conservatives could use a rule vote set by the House Rules Committee to block the spending deal.
- Tacking the SAVE Act would likely kill the deal and could prolong the shutdown, as it risks House Democrats' support and funding lapsed Saturday amid Department of Homeland Security divisions.
- The deal would fund most of government through Sept. 30 and sets a Feb. 13 DHS deadline, while some Democrats including Rosa DeLauro, Rep., D-Conn., signaled support and negotiators continue talks.
