SAVE the Spending Act!!

It seems that Speaker Johnson may do the right thing.

Underline "may."

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Republican leadership are reportedly discussing attaching a bill that requires proof of citizenship to vote to a stop-gap spending bill.

The federal government will shut down on September 30 if Congress fails to pass a spending bill, and congressional leaders are eyeing a short-term spending bill that would fund the government past Election Day, November 5.

Johnson and Republican leaders are now considering attaching the SAVE Act, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote in a federal election, to the short-term spending bill that would continue funding the government until March 2025....

Johnson's record of doing the right thing is spotty, but in this case?  65% of actual Americans favor a proof-of-citizenship for voting.  Think Johnson will P.O. that many people?

Stay tuned.
