Overview
- Trump, who on Monday in Memphis urged Republicans to skip their Easter recess, wants the Senate to tie the Save America Act to Department of Homeland Security funding.
- The bill would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register and a photo ID to cast a ballot.
- The House passed the bill in February, but the Senate needs 60 votes to proceed and Republicans hold 53 seats.
- DHS has lacked full funding since February 13, leaving many TSA officers unpaid and causing sickouts and resignations that have slowed airport security.
- Trump again threatened executive action if Congress stalls, even though a similar 2025 order was partly blocked by a federal court.
