Trump refuses to sign other legislation until voter bill passes Congress
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday via social media that he will not approve any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, a controversial voter bill. The legislation, passed by the Republican-controlled House in February, still faces challenges in the Senate, also led by Republicans.
Trump’s statement, posted on his Truth Social platform, emphasized that he would withhold his signature on all other bills until the voter measure becomes law. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship for voter registration in the upcoming November midterm elections and impose criminal penalties on election officials who register individuals without proper documentation.
Democratic leaders have criticized the bill, arguing it is designed to suppress voter turnout and weaken their electoral prospects, particularly as independent analysts predict the Democrats may regain control of the House.
It remains uncertain whether Trump will follow through on his pledge. Under U.S. law, if a president takes no action on a bill for ten days while Congress is in session, the measure automatically becomes law without a signature.
