Republicans Push SAVE Act via Reconciliation | US News
Description
Senate Republicans are circling back on a bold legislative gambit: using budget reconciliation to sneak key parts of the SAVE America Act through the Senate without needing 60 votes. With Democrats blocking the full bill, GOP leaders are eyeing reconciliation’s budgetary loophole — a tactic previously used by both parties — to push through election reforms like citizenship verification for voters. The move is being tied to late Senator Lindsey Graham’s cryptic “all set” comment to Trump, now interpreted as a nod to this strategy. A House budget resolution could launch the process, potentially funding defense, farm aid, and SAVE Act provisions — but whether those items qualify under reconciliation’s strict rules remains up for debate, with the parliamentarian’s call holding the final say.
