参议院民主党人阻止了参议院共和党人对一项特朗普支持的选民ID法案进行修改的尝试，该修正案要求暂停男性参加女子体育赛事。
来自阿拉巴马州的共和党议员汤米·塔伯维勒（Tommy Tuberville）提出的《保护美国选民资格法案》（Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility, SAVE America Act）修正案，是特朗普总统要求对该法案进行的几项修改之一。
塔伯维勒的修正案本可以将特朗普去年早些时候发布的行政命令法典化，禁止跨性别女性参加女子体育赛事——这是共和党人和民主党人之间的文化战争导火索，除非成为法律，否则如果2028年民主党政府上台，该禁令可能会被推翻。

但正如预期的那样，这项附加修正案在上议院的党线投票中失败了。
作为共和党人继续其法案辩论策略的一部分，该修正案是预期将在参议院提出的几项修正案中的第一项。周六是《保护美国选民资格法案》在参议院占主导地位的第五天。
“我会尽一切努力确保该法案通过，”塔伯维勒告诉福克斯新闻数字版记者，“这可能是很长一段时间以来国会通过的最重要的法案之一。这只是在让美国人和非美国人对立。”

其他待讨论的修正案还包括禁止对未成年人进行跨性别手术，以及停止未经请求的邮寄选票——这些都是特朗普要求共和党人附加到选民ID和公民身份验证法案中的内容。
考虑到参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（D-N.Y.）和参议院民主党人一致反对该法案，持续的参议院辩论很可能不会导致《保护美国选民资格法案》获得通过。
“所以我对特朗普总统说，我们必须完成这项工作，”他继续说道，“但我不知道我们是否有足够的支持，即使是在共和党内部，更不用说民主党人了。”
随着参议院马拉松式辩论开始，共和党人表示不会退缩

对该法案的无限制辩论旨在模仿“程序性阻挠”（talking filibuster）策略，这一策略将法案通过的门槛降低到仅需50票的简单多数，但代价是导致参议院陷入僵局。
而参议院民主党人能够提出无限数量的修正案，这些修正案可能会大幅改变法案内容，共和党人承认他们没有足够的票数来阻止这些修正案。

他们目前正在进行的参议院“占领”策略，主要是为了将法案可能失败的责任从共和党转移到舒默和民主党人身上，因为按照常规方式通过，共和党需要60票。
但其他人则希望，正如该法案在参议院的主要提案人犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李（Mike Lee）所希望的那样，持续的辩论将削弱民主党人的抵抗，并使一些民主党人转而支持该法案。

Dems block GOP amendment tying voter ID bill to transgender sports ban
Published March 21, 2026 1:55pm EDT / By Alex Miller, Fox News
Senate Democrats blocked a move by Senate Republicans to modify a Trump-backed voter ID bill with a provision that would halt men in women’s sports.
The amendment to the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act from Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was one of several tweaks to the legislation requested by President Donald Trump.
Tuberville’s amendment could have codified Trump’s earlier executive order from last year to ban transgender women from participating in women’s sports — a culture war flashpoint between Republicans and Democrats that, unless turned into law, will likely be reversed should a Democratic administration take over in 2028.
GOP SENATOR’S GAMBIT EXPOSES FALSE DEM CLAIMS ABOUT SUPPORTING VOTER ID

But, as expected, the add-on failed on a party-line vote in the upper chamber.
The amendment was the first of several expected to hit the floor as Republicans continue their takeover strategy to debate the bill. Saturday marked the fifth day that the SAVE America Act dominated the floor.
“I would do whatever it took to get this passed,” Tuberville told Fox News Digital. “This is probably one of the most important bills that’s come through here in a long, long time. It’s just pitting Americans versus non-Americans.”

Others on the docket include a ban on transgender surgeries on minors and halting unsolicited mail-in ballots — add-ons that Trump requested Republicans tack onto the voter ID and citizen verification bill.
And the ongoing floor takeover likely won’t result in the SAVE America Act passing, given that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Democrats are unified in their rejection of the legislation.
“So I’m like, President Trump, we need to get it done,” he continued. “But I don’t know whether we’ve got enough support, even on the Republican side, much less Democrats.”

The unlimited debate on the legislation is meant to mimic the talking filibuster, a strategy that would lower the threshold to pass the legislation to a simple 50-vote majority at the cost of deadlocking the Senate floor.
And Senate Democrats would be able to offer an unlimited number of amendments that could drastically change the bill, which Republicans have acknowledged they don’t have the numbers to block.

The floor takeover they’re currently undertaking is largely meant to shift blame from Republicans to Schumer and Democrats for the bill’s expected failure, given that, in order to pass conventionally, the GOP would need 60 votes.
But others hope, like Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who is the lead sponsor of the SAVE America Act in the Senate, that the constant debate will grind down Democratic resistance and flip some over to support the bill.
