田纳西州孟菲斯市，3月23日（路透社） – 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一援引耶稣之名，敦促国会共和党人在即将到来的复活节假期期间继续工作，以推动一项民主党强烈反对的选民身份法案。
特朗普表示，这项选举法案应纳入任何资助国土安全部的协议中。国土安全部自2月13日起因民主党要求改革移民执法而部分关闭。

“我请求共和党参议员立即行动。你们不必仓促投票。别担心复活节假期，别想着回家。事实上，就为了耶稣，把这件事做成吧。”特朗普在田纳西州孟菲斯市的一个圆桌会议上说道。
国会议员将于本周末结束开始为期两周的复活节休会。

然而，共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉记者，参议院应优先处理国土安全部资金问题。
在特朗普要求参议院通过”拯救美国”法案（该法案将大幅改变各州联邦选举运作方式）之际，图恩指出，在参议院获得足够支持通过该法案存在困难。
他还抵制了特朗普关于废除参议院”阻挠议事”规则的呼吁，以便共和党人无需民主党支持即可推进立法。
国土安全部资金短缺意味着数万名运输安全管理局人员已无薪工作五周，导致一些机场安检人员请病假或完全辞职。
该选举法案要求选民登记时提供美国公民身份证明，并在投票时出示带照片的身份证件。目前该法案在100个席位的参议院中缺乏60票来克服民主党反对，而共和党在参议院拥有53个席位。

Trump tells Republicans to pass voting law ‘for Jesus’

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, March 23 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump evoked Jesus on Monday to urge Republicans in Congress to work through the upcoming Easter holiday in a bid to pass a voter identification bill that Democrats strongly oppose.
Trump said the voting bill should be included in any agreement to fund the Homeland Security department, which has been partially shut down since February 13 after Democrats demanded reforms to immigration enforcement.

“I’m requesting that the Republican senators do that immediately. You don’t have to take a fast vote. Don’t worry about Easter, going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus,” Trump told a roundtable event in Memphis, Tennessee.
Lawmakers are due to take a two-week Easter recess starting at the end of this week.

However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican, told reporters that the Senate should deal with Department of Homeland Security funding as the most pressing matter.
Amid Trump’s demands for Senate passage of the “SAVE America” bill that would significantly change the way federal elections are conducted by states, Thune has noted the difficulty in getting enough support in the Senate to pass that measure.

He also has resisted Trump’s calls for eliminating the “filibuster” rule in the Senate so that Republicans can advance legislation without any support from Democrats.
The lack of DHS funds means tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration personnel have worked without pay for five weeks, leading some airport security workers to call in sick or quit entirely.
The voting bill would require voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID for casting ballots. The bill currently lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome Democratic opposition in the 100-member Senate, where Republicans hold 53 seats.
