U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) announced Sunday that House Republicans plan to block bills passed by the Senate until that chamber takes action on the SAVE America Act.
“This is the issue of our time! I am fine with holding Sen. Thune hostage until we get this done. Figuratively, not literally,” the congresswoman said. She continued by noting agreement across demographic and political lines on the core principle, explaining that “every single person in [the] country agrees it only citizens should vote in our election.”
Mace added that the measure represents the best step “to protect democracy.”
The SAVE America Act, formally known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (H.R. 7296), was introduced in the House and passed on February 12, 2026, by a vote of 218-213. The bill requires states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship before accepting or processing any application to register to vote in a federal election.
Acceptable forms of documentation include a U.S. passport, a birth certificate issued by a state or local government, or certain other records that confirm citizenship status. The legislation also directs states to require government-issued photo identification for voting in federal elections.
Additional provisions in the bill allow states to create alternative processes for individuals who lack immediate access to standard proof-of-citizenship documents. It further requires federal agencies to share relevant data with state election officials to assist in verifying eligibility. The measure aims to standardize and strengthen verification procedures for federal elections nationwide.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has indicated that the chamber lacks the 60 votes necessary to overcome a potential filibuster, with Republicans holding 53 seats. Thune has described the situation in terms of available votes and has scheduled limited floor time for discussion of the bill.
Several House Republicans, including Mace and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), have publicly supported using procedural tools in the House to delay or withhold approval of unrelated Senate legislation as a means of encouraging Senate action.
Mace has consistently described the SAVE America Act as essential election integrity legislation. Following the House passage in February, she noted that the bill received support from nearly all Republicans and one Democrat.
Public opinion data referenced by supporters, including Mace, indicates that approximately 85 percent of Americans back requirements for proof of citizenship and photo identification in voting processes.

Should have done this a month ago
It’s all a bunch of Kabuki theater BS.
All kinds of melodramatic gestures, it will fail by one or two votes according to the script.
Then the worthless corrupt sold-out RINOS can say “see, we tried, we really really did…”
Thine is human garbage. He’s a retarded Mitch McConnell.
Thune will make this happen or he becomes minority leader. He’s probably fine with that but he’ll be gone next election.
Thine = Thune
“He’s a retarded Mitch McConnell.”
I’ve seen him called “Mitch’s Bitch” more than once.
Thune wants to sabotage Trump like Mitch and Paul Ryan in 2018.
Fake Republican Thune needs to go with his cabal.
If they can’t get it passed Trump should stop planning rallies and a mid-term convention. Screw the Republicans.
No Save America passage and the base will give up and stay home in Nov.
This is what Thune wants.
John Thune (R-SD) will be reelected, by a large margin, no matter what happens.
2028:
2022: Won reelection with 69.6 percent of the vote.
2016: Won reelection with 71.8 percent of the vote.
2010: Won reelection (unopposed).
2004: Elected to the U.S. senate.
“This is the issue of our time! I am fine with holding Sen. Thune hostage until we get this done”
Mace is a nitwit and suffers the inability to message that most in the GOP suffers from. The theme is making him do his job, and 100% agree that people should do their jobs. “Holding hostage” is a muddled message at best. But then again this someone who thought it amusing to tell a group of evangelicals that she was just back from naming her boyfriend
I despise Thune, and will push my Senators, Cruz and Paxton, to get rid of that RINO POS next term.
And the midterms will be held under the same provisions as the Save America Act, no matter what the pos does.
We need better voters. No clearer proof than this.
