GOP Pushes SAVE America Act and Revives Talking Filibuster Debate
Republicans aim to overcome the 60-vote Senate threshold by reviving the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID for voting.
- This week, GOP leaders intensified a push for the SAVE Act, reigniting debate about requiring Democrats to physically hold the floor in the Senate filibuster; the bill is expected to get a House vote this week.
- Rep. Chip Roy first introduced the measure over a year ago to require proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and direct states to remove noncitizens from rolls.

- Senate strategists are weighing Rule 19 , which would require 47 Republican Senators to maintain a 24/7 floor presence, creating major logistical hurdles.
- Critics note the SAVE Act would disproportionately affect younger voters and minorities, with the Brennan Center for Justice finding more than 21 million Americans lack required documents, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it `Jim Crow type laws to the entire country`.
