He also called for provisions to further restrict mail-in voting and gender-affirming care not already in the House-passed version. It's unclear if he's asking for new legislation to encompass those demands."
"If the president does not sign a bill within 10 days of presentment while Congress is in session, it automatically becomes law. But if Congress adjourns while the bill is awaiting signature, the unsigned bill dies."
"Republicans have framed the effort as necessary to stop noncitizen voting, but that is both illegal and rare. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has expressed skepticism about the tactic, which he says would require unity among the Republican conference."
President Trump has issued an urgent demand for immediate passage of the SAVE Act, calling it a priority that supersedes all other legislative matters. He has requested additional provisions restricting mail-in voting and gender-affirming care beyond what the House-passed version contains. Trump's stance creates potential gridlock on Department of Homeland Security funding, as lawmakers remain at an impasse and his pledge suggests he may refuse to sign any funding bill. Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have stated they will not support the SAVE Act under any circumstances. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has expressed skepticism about using a talking filibuster to advance the bill, citing the need for Republican unity.
