Republicans are calling on 84-year-old Sen. Mitch McConnell to stop blocking the SAVE America Act from reaching the Senate floor. The House has already passed the bill, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections. But in the Senate, the measure hasn’t been scheduled for committee markup or brought up for debate — steps controlled by leadership — effectively keeping it stalled.
Some GOP lawmakers say it deserves a vote. The question now is whether Senate leadership will move it forward or let it remain in limbo.
