House Republicans on Wednesday withheld support for a scheduled rules vote, citing the Senate's failure to advance the SAVE America Act, a measure requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. The procedural step was not taken after members of the majority party indicated they would block consideration of unrelated legislation until the elections measure moves forward.
Rep. ) stated that the Senate would face consequences for advancing legislation without the voter eligibility provisions. "When will the Senate learn that they cannot keep punching the American people in the face and not expect blowback to happen? Not one piece of their legislation will pass unless they pass the save America act," Luna said on June 24, 2026, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Three Republican representatives from Texas also said they would oppose rules and legislation until the Senate acts on the bill.
The White House cancelled a planned signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act until the SAVE America Act advances. President Trump addressed the matter during a Senate GOP Steering Committee lunch at the Capitol after posting about the cancellation on social media.
The president had previously urged Senate Republicans to pass the voter eligibility measure by eliminating the filibuster or attaching it to other legislation. Senate leadership stated they lacked the votes to advance the bill. The president indicated that reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act would face opposition without the voter eligibility provisions attached.
A source familiar with internal discussions told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the House plans to proceed with its current schedule despite the objections. Thirty-two House Republicans voted against a housing bill during a Tuesday vote.
