As Democrats and even some Republicans refuse to support the SAVE Act, Speaker Johnson has promised to work through the weekend building consensus before taking a vote.
From The Daily Wire. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) backed off plans for a vote Wednesday on a short-term spending measure combined with reforms meant to help ensure non-citizens are not voting in federal elections, but he committed to “consensus building” in the GOP-led House through the weekend.

Leading congressional Democrats, the White House, and even some Republicans have voiced opposition to the proposal, which would provide funding for the federal government for six months — through March 28 — in addition to instituting the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. A government shutdown could happen next month if a deal to fund the various federal agencies is not reached by the end of September …
“No vote today, because we’re in the consensus building business here in Congress with small majorities,” Johnson told reporters at the U.S. Capitol. …

The SAVE Act, which passed the House in July with some bipartisan support but never got taken up by the Democrat-controlled Senate, aims to require that individuals show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office and pushes states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. Critics argue the bill is unnecessary and would create an undue burden on legitimate voters, but a report from Johnson warned of a National Voter Registration Act “loophole” in which states do not ask for proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote in federal elections and cited evidence of non-citizens appearing on voter rolls in places such as Massachusetts, Ohio, and Virginia.
Several Republicans in the House have signaled dismay with the GOP plan, with some being turned off by the idea of stop-gap spending bill, defense hawks fretting a “negative impact” on the Pentagon, and others not liking the idea of the SAVE Act being included, according to POLITICO. …

Why do we not just enforce our Constitution? Do we need another law saying what the Constitution already states? Noncitizens have no right to vote in our elections, only documented citizens. Politicians who do not serve the American citizens by supporting the U.S. Constitution are committing treason and will be held accountable. Time to do right or face the consequences.
We better get our act together and demand citizens only voter privilege. This is the LAW. When and how did government decide they could overrule the law? We’re never going to have honest elections if we don’t get this right. May God help us in this next election because based on previous (2020) history all government has to do to keep the “left” in power is cheat.
Lord please work mightily to help our lawmakers to come to a good working consensus that includes the SAVE act. Confront, tear down, destroy the lies and spiritual walls to keep individuals from leaning on their own understanding. Bring unity with all looking to you for guidance and wisdom. Deliver us Lord from a government shut down or a big omnibus bill that is full of spending for evil.
Father God, in the name of Jesus I ask You to assist Speaker Johnson this weekend in building a solid support for the SAVE Act so that only American citizens vote in our elections. I pray You place a strong conviction and guidance on the hearts and minds of our legislators to do what is right.
Please save the sovereignty and representative government You blessed us with. Forgive us for our many sins of apathy and pleasure-seeking instead of working and praying diligently for Your will to be done in all matters. Amen.
I’m so confused by this….It’s always been that you can only vote if you are a US citizen…my father was a refugee from Hungary and could not vote until he became a citizen….How are things getting changed and “we the people” don’t know about it?
It’s because we have lawless people in authority who don’t believe the law applies to them. They regularly disregard laws to do what pleases them, as in encouraging and providing funding for millions of aliens to illegally come into our country, then issuing an order for all government agencies to sign anyone they can up to vote without requiring proof of citizenship.
THE SAVE ACT IS A COMMON SENSE MEASURE THAT IS LONG OVERDUE TO STOP TRAITOROUS P\MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM BEING ABLE TO COMMIT TREASON WITH IMPUNITY. . LIKETHE EQUALLY CORRUPT 14THAMENDMENT SECTION 3 LAST SENTENCE. READ IT AND WEEP. AND HATIOANS HAVE BEEN EATING THE LOCAL ANIMALS FROM GEESEIN LAKES TO PETS. . I’VE SEEN THE PEOLE S VIDEOS WHO ARE SAYING JUST THAT. TRUMPTOLD THE TRUTH
PUNISH THEM ALL DEAR GOD.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
God, we as Speaker Johnson works to build consensus in the Republican party, we pray that You would move in our leaders’ hearts. Show every elected official the importance of guarding our elections!. DEAR GOD GIVE SPEAKER JOHNSON THE TACTICS JE NEEDS TO SUCCEED.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
If they don’t want the SAVE act, ask why what is the reasoning behind the blocking of something that we the people see as an awesome act!!! Lord, let Speaker Johnson get this act passed turn the thoughts of those in opposition to be honest with themselves and the people. In Jesus Name amen
That anyone would fight against the SAVE act is “boggling” and actually part and parcel of what God’s Word tells us of the fracturing enemy ribboning we’ve observed for years here in USA as well as, The World
Voting in an Federal Election is a right earned by US Citizens. Why do some members of Congress refuse to require proof of US Citizenship for Voters Registration? What ruse are they concealing?
Either you stand firm in your belief in your personal relationship with Jesus, Yeshua Ben Yosef, or you do not. Ask Him what’s on His heart! Know why you do what you do, and why you say what you say; is it not, but to be one with Him? When He does not ask it of you, then it is of the self of you. Have no doubt about that! And when it is of the self of you, it will not prosper God’s Kingdom or prophet/profit mankind. Yeshua has said that even the most simple can at least receive a “yes” or “no “answer from Him. Ask Yeshua! Yeshua’s wisdom and light, does not equate to man’s thoughts. [email protected]
Vote for the SAVE Act. Especially clean up the voter rolls. Provide info on how to registerto vote. Pass stop gap measure for govt. Agencies. Hold down spending.
I love praying for my Nation with thousands of others seeking Jesus Christ for favor. However, the Republican agenda comes through strongly. We should have better faith in Christ and allow Jesus to choose our president and other leaders. I do love most prayers. They are short and to the point.
I pray that what is true and right would prevail and that no one would be able to stand against it!
I pray that want us true and right would prevail and that no one would be able to attend against it!
U.S. citizens would not be allowed to vote in other countries’ elections and would probably be jailed if they tried.
