众议院议员就《拯救法案》抗议参议院法案
得克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔做客《周六在美国》节目，讨论国会山就《拯救美国法案》存在的分歧。
一批共和党参议员与民主党议员联手，挫败了一项深夜试图将选民身份证和公民身份核查立法版本纳入共和党联邦移民执法拨款法案的尝试。
北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯、阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基、缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯以及肯塔基州共和党参议员米奇·麦康奈尔，均于周四凌晨投票反对修改后的《保障美国选民资格（SAVE）美国法案》。
他们的倒戈发生在参议院马拉松式的“投票马拉松”期间，期间议员们可就任意数量的修正案发起投票，无论这些修正案是否与 underlying 预算蓝图相符。
该修正案以48票对50票未能通过，这印证了数周前多名共和党议员在发起准全场投票以辩论《拯救美国法案》前所发出的警告——该法案在共和党内部并未获得足够支持以通过。

即便参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩发起口头阻挠议事，试图以简单多数50票推动该法案通过，该提案似乎也已注定失败。
尽管如此，路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪在威胁要推迟进程至周四后，仍推动了他版本的《拯救美国法案》。
肯尼迪承认，他的提案可能不符合指导和解程序的严格参议院规则，即《伯德规则》，但他反驳称，批评他此举的人“无法预测未来”。
“我尊重本院的每一个人，每一个人，”肯尼迪在参议院议场说道，“如果你投票反对这项法案，我不会说一个字。我绝对不会在社交媒体上称你为无知的荡妇。那不是我的行事风格，除非我被逼到绝境。”

如果肯尼迪的提案获得通过，它将指示参议院规则委员会起草立法，要求联邦选举中选民在登记和投票时出示身份证、将投票时间限制在选举日当天，并要求在选举结束后36小时内完成计票。
该提案还将为委员会起草和实施该立法设定100亿美元的上限。
值得注意的是，麦康奈尔担任参议院规则委员会主席，如果肯尼迪的提案得以通过，他将负责制定新的立法。
柯林斯此前曾表示她将支持《拯救美国法案》，但否决了该版本的立法。与此同时，自共和党发起全场投票接管以来，穆尔科斯基和蒂利斯一直反对该提案。
参议院共和党公布1400亿美元标价的移民拨款计划，党内分歧加剧
唐纳德·特朗普总统曾多次推动通过《拯救美国法案》。上个月他誓言不会签署任何其他法案，直到该法案获得通过，并表示他不会批准“缩水版本”。

参议院规则委员会民主党高级议员、加州民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉指责肯尼迪的修正案是“在寻找问题的解决方案”。
“我们已经花了好几个星期辩论所谓的《拯救美国法案》，”帕迪拉说道，“但我认为，无论你对《拯救美国法案》有何看法——该法案显然无法在参议院通过——就连我的共和党同僚都会说，我们来自路易斯安那州的同事提出的这项措施是一个更为极端的版本。”

Republicans fail to attach SAVE America Act to party-line funding package
April 23, 2026 3:23pm EDT / Fox News
Four Republican senators joined Democrats in voting against a citizenship verification measure early Thursday morning

House lawmakers protest Senate bills over SAVE Act
Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, joins ‘Saturday in America’ to discuss divisions on Capitol Hill over the SAVE Act.
A cohort of Senate Republicans joined Democrats to sink a late-night attempt to attach a version of voter ID and citizenship verification legislation to the GOP’s bill funding federal immigration enforcement.
Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., all voted against a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act early Thursday morning.
Their defection came during the Senate’s marathon “vote-a-rama,” where lawmakers could force votes on any number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the underlying budget blueprint.
The amendment’s 48-to-50 failure crystallized what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the SAVE America Act last month — it didn’t have the support among the GOP to pass.

It appears the proposal was doomed even if Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., launched an oral filibuster to advance the measure with a simple 50-vote majority.
Still, Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., pushed his version of the SAVE America Act after threatening to hold up the process until Thursday.
Kennedy acknowledged that his effort may not comport with the strict Senate rules that guide the reconciliation process, known as the Byrd Rule, but countered that critics of his move “can’t predict the future.”
“I respect everybody in this body, everybody,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor. “If you vote against this bill, I’m not going to say a word. And I’m sure as hell not going to go on social media and call you an ignorant slut. That’s not the way I roll, unless I’m pushed too far.”

Had Kennedy’s bid been successful, it could have instructed the Senate Rules Committee to craft legislation that would require voter ID to register and cast ballots in federal elections, limit voting to Election Day only and require that ballots be counted within 36 hours of an election.
It also would have set a $10 billion ceiling for the committee to use in crafting and implementing the legislation.
Notably, McConnell chairs the Senate Rules Committee and would have been tasked with creating the new legislation if Kennedy’s idea worked out.
Collins previously said she would support the SAVE America Act, but rejected this version of the legislation. Meanwhile, Murkowski and Tillis pushed back against the proposal ever since Republicans launched their floor takeover.
SENATE REPUBLICANS UNVEIL IMMIGRATION FUNDING PLAN WITH $140 BILLION PRICE TAG AS DIVISIONS SIMMER
President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed for passage of the SAVE America Act. Last month he vowed not to sign any other bills until it gets through, and said he wouldn’t approve of a “watered down version.”

Top Senate Rules Committee Democrat Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., charged that Kennedy’s amendment was a “solution in search of a problem.”
“We’ve already gone down this road for several weeks now to debate the so-called SAVE America Act,” Padilla said. “But I think, despite how you felt about the SAVE America Act, which certainly cannot pass the Senate, even my Republican colleagues would say the measure suggested by our colleague from Louisiana is an even more extreme version.”

Kennedy’s failed attempt comes as debate over the SAVE America Act has taken a back seat in the Senate in recent weeks.
The GOP’s reconciliation gamble, reauthorizing the nation’s controversial spy powers, and the war in Iran have all dominated the Senate floor. Still, Republican leadership has no immediate plans to end its floor takeover.
