House GOP Contemplates Linking SAVE Act to Funding Bill

Proposal aims to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections, potentially setting up a legislative clash with Senate Democrats.

• Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leaders are considering attaching the SAVE Act to a stop-gap spending bill.
• The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
• The proposed funding bill would extend government spending until March 2025.
• The House Freedom Caucus and Sen. Mike Lee support the move, while Democrats oppose it.
• Failure to pass the funding bill by September 30 could result in a government shutdown.
