众议院共和党领袖正在推进一项旨在设立新联邦框架以确保只有美国公民才能参加全国选举的立法。
美国路易斯安那州共和党众议员、众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯（Steve Scalise）向福克斯新闻数字版证实，众议院下周将对德克萨斯州共和党众议员奇普·罗伊提出的《保护美国选民法案》进行投票。
在此之前，保守派议员本周早些时候威胁称，如果国会两党资助法案中不包含该立法，将延长部分政府停摆。但在白宫保证参议院会认真考虑该法案后，这些议员撤回了他们的要求。

众议院下周的投票将加大参议院对该法案的压力，而参议院通过该法案的可能性很小。不过，法案支持者希望一种鲜为人知的策略——”常设阻挠议事”（standing filibuster）——能成为突破民主党反对的关键。
“这些是保护美国选民的常识性措施，”斯卡利斯周四向福克斯新闻数字版解释道。
“国会中只有民主党人会反对这些防止选民欺诈的基本要求，这是因为他们希望非法移民能在我们的选举中投票。否则，他们为什么会支持开放边境、反对驱逐非法移民、反对如照片 ID 这样的选举安全措施？”
《保护美国选民法案》是罗伊提出的《保障美国选民资格法案》（Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility，简称 SAVE）的更新版本。该法案于2025年4月在众议院通过，但从未在参议院获得审议。
虽然原《保障美国选民资格法案》会在选民登记过程中设立新的联邦公民身份证明要求，并要求各州清理不符合条件的选民名单，但更新后的法案还将要求在任何联邦选举中都必须出示照片 ID 才能投票。

“这都是同一个概念，对吧？我的意思是，你需要公民身份，然后你需要确保投票的人就是投票的人。照片 ID，我认为，是其中一个极其重要的要素，我们希望在联邦选举中强制要求这一点，”罗伊周四向福克斯新闻数字版表示。

该法案预计将轻松在众议院通过——原《保障美国选民资格法案》获得了所有共和党人和四名民主党人的支持——但它在参议院的生存将更为复杂。
大多数立法需要60票才能突破阻挠议事，这意味着至少有七名民主党人需要与共和党人共同投票才能推进该法案。
佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜（Anna Paulina Luna）领导了一个小型保守派联盟，威胁称如果《保护美国选民法案》未被附加到周二总统唐纳德·特朗普签署的拨款法案中，将延长最近的政府停摆。
卢娜告诉记者，她周一晚上与白宫进行了交谈，得到了白宫的保证：参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩（John Thune）正考虑使用一种名为”常设阻挠议事”的策略，以确保该法案获得投票机会。
这将恢复参议院过时的阻挠议事规则，要求法案反对者必须亲自在参议院会议厅内并持续发言才能延迟法案审议。
此举还将消除打破阻挠议事所需的60票要求（目前阻挠议事在投票前不需要议员在场，而是在反对者发言结束后自动终止）。每位参议员最多可发表两次演讲，且无时间限制。
这种做法的缺点是会使参议院议事陷入停滞，直到阻挠议事结束。但罗伊辩称，上议院职责的任何此类延误都应完全由民主党人承担责任。
“我们想说的是，对于选举主权这样重要的事情，我们应该迫使这个问题得到解决，”罗伊表示。”如果民主党人想要……一场漫长、冗长、不停发言的阻挠议事，那就让他们向美国人民解释吧。”
斯卡利斯向福克斯新闻数字版表示：”一旦众议院共和党人通过这项法案——我们肯定会通过——我敦促参议院迅速将其提交到表决桌上，这样我们就能将其提交给特朗普总统签署。美国人民正在要求采取行动——国会必须响应他们的号召，通过这项关键立法。”

House GOP moves to require proof of citizenship, photo ID to vote in federal election
The House Rules Committee will consider the SAVE America Act on Monday, Rep Chip Roy says

House GOP leaders are forging ahead on legislation aimed at imposing new federal guardrails to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in national elections.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., confirmed to Fox News Digital that the chamber would vote on the SAVE America Act introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, next week.
It comes after conservatives threatened to extend the partial government shutdown earlier this week if the legislation was not included in Congress’ bipartisan funding bills. But those lawmakers backed off their demands after getting assurances from the White House that the Senate would give the bill serious consideration.

The House’s vote next week hikes the growing pressure on the Senate to take up the bill, where it will face long odds of passing. Its backers are hoping a little-known maneuver called a “standing filibuster” will be key to breaking through Democratic opposition, however.
“These are common-sense measures that protect American voters,” Scalise explained to Fox News Digital on Thursday.
“Only Democrats in Congress could oppose these basic requirements that prevent voter fraud, and that’s because they want illegal aliens to vote in our elections. Why else would they support open borders, oppose deporting illegal aliens, and oppose election security like picture ID?”
The SAVE America Act is an updated version of Roy’s Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House in April 2025 but was never taken up in the Senate.
Whereas the SAVE Act would create a new federal proof of citizenship mandate in the voter registration process and impose requirements for states to keep their rolls clear of ineligible voters, the updated bill would also require photo ID to vote in any federal elections.

“It’s all the same concept, right? I mean, you want citizenship, and then you want to guarantee that the person voting is the person voting. Photo ID is, I think, a critically important element to that, and we want to require that for federal elections,” Roy told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The bill is expected to easily pass the House — the original SAVE Act got support from all Republicans and four Democrats — but its survival in the Senate is more complicated.
Most legislation needs 60 votes to break through a filibuster, meaning at least seven Democrats will need to vote with Republicans to advance the bill.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., led a small coalition of conservatives threatening to extend the most recent government shutdown if the SAVE America Act was not attached to the funding bill that President Donald Trump signed into law on Tuesday.
Luna told reporters she spoke with the White House on Monday night where she got assurances that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is looking at using a maneuver called a “standing filibuster” to ensure a vote on the bill.
It would restore antiquated filibuster rules in the Senate that require opponents of a bill to be physically present in the chamber and speaking continuously to delay its consideration.
The move would also eliminate the need for 60 votes to break a filibuster, which currently does not require lawmakers to be present in the chamber until a vote — rather, it would end when opponents were done speaking. Each senator can give a maximum of two speeches, though without any time constraints.
The downside of such a move is that it would grind Senate proceedings to a halt until the filibuster was over. But Roy argued that any such delay in the upper chamber’s duties would fall squarely on Democrats’ shoulders.

“What we’re trying to say is that for something as important as sovereignty in our elections, we should force that question,” Roy said. “If Democrats want … a long, drawn-out, talking filibuster, then let them explain that to the American people.”
Scalise told Fox News Digital, “Once House Republicans pass this bill—and we will—I urge the Senate to quickly put it on the floor so we can send it to President Trump’s desk. The American people are demanding action — Congress must answer their call and pass this critical legislation.”
