President Donald Trump is vowing to block all other legislation until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act passes the Senate — his hardest push yet for a controversial bill which, among other things, would require strict voter ID in order to register to vote.
In a Sunday morning post to Truth Social, Trump — while lauding pro-MAGA activist Scott Pressler’s appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend — threatened to use the talking filibuster (which would require Democrats to speak continuously on the floor in order to delay a vote) to push the legislation through.
“Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” Trump wrote. “It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL.”
Proponents of the bill argue, as Trump did, that voter ID laws are widely popular with Americans. But critics argue the ID requirements in the SAVE act are far more restrictive than many Americans realize, and its passage would lead to wide disenfranchisement.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has committed to maintaining a 60-vote threshold and has said that he cannot even get a simple majority of 50 to agree upon the procedural tactic required to move forward.

Should require Paper Ballots too.
Thanks for the list.
Do you have a list of countries that vote by paper ballot like France?
It’s rough, but he keeps his promises.
It’s hard living life with an honest person who keeps their promises.
Make ‘em vote!
The Ameri8can people want to know who the traitors are in GOP. Because we need to get rid of them.
How true.
And Thune is saying to himself; “great, now I have nothing to worry about, I can relax. Me and Mitch can go have a drink.”
“a controversial bill”
Only with those who shouldn’t be voting.
Not just any paper, something difficult to counterfeit , like cash.
To register? It needs to remedy the millions of fraudulent registrations that already exist.
There may be hundreds of court challenges to delay past the midterms; so Thune needs to stop stalling immediately.
” Even if you believe the “self deportation” stats, we are barely over 2 million.”
I thought they were going to cut off the benefits. Crickets. I’m expecting to here mumbled calls for amnesty soon from the CFR Republicans.
Great idea have to get things done for the sake of honest elections.
Only president to do it not just talk about it.
They’re Democrats running and getting elected in “red” states
To most media anyone or anything even mildly conservative is “controversial.”
If there is a way to negatively spin the actions of President Trump, you would find it!
Good. This Act is the reason I voted. We don’t need Illegal alien scum electing worthless piggies like Omar, Tlaib, Bobby Garcia (D-Peru), Primila the Gorrilla, and the rest of the non-American piggies running wild in the U.S. Congress.
So why don’t you run? You seem to know it all and how everything ought to be done. So go to DC and show us how.
Bingo.
Most of the SAVE act is unconstitutional.
Article I section 4 grants Congress the right to overrule State election laws that pertain to the election of Representatives and Senators. That’s all.
Specifically, the methods used by State Legislatures to appoint their Electors for President and Vice President are reserved sovereign powers of the several States.
If you think Congress can make rules for THAT, please cite where in the Constitution you find such authority granted - because it’s not there.
Why did you think that?
It’s not there but the courts have already allowed the Motor Voter Act anyway - AND have said that unless the feds require voter ID to register it is unconstitutional for any state to require it to register to vote in federal elections. That’s why AZ had to have 2 ballots: the AZ elections which required ID for registration, and the federal one, which only required the voter to claim they are a US citizen. The feds already require voters in federal elections to be US citizens, it’s just that they don’t force anybody to prove it.
So even though the Constitution doesn’t say it, the courts have seen it in the penumbra and the feds have been in charge of the requirements for federal elections even as the states are in charge of the execution of it.
