House passes State Department funding bill for fiscal year 2027
The 217-209 vote sends the funding measure to the Senate, where lawmakers are expected to remove the citizenship-proof voting provision.
- On Wednesday, the House passed the $47.3 billion National Security-State appropriations bill, merging it with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility America Act to resolve a recent Republican legislative standoff.
- House GOP leadership ended the impasse by attaching the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for federal election registration, to the spending measure after a delay last month.
- Rejecting an amendment from Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., the House voted 104-314 on the measure, exposing shifting political dynamics within the Democratic Party over Israel aid.
- The Senate is expected to strip the voter ID provisions of the SAVE America Act from the funding bill when it considers the measure sent by the House.
- Before the September deadline, the House must pass nine additional appropriations bills, while the Senate's own funding process remains stalled by partisan stalemate and leadership vacancies.
