福克斯首发:一群众议院保守派议员向参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩发出警告:要么迅速通过特朗普支持的选举法案,要么别指望众议院会阻挠参议院的任何措施。

由佛罗里达州共和党众议员兰迪·法恩领导的二十多名众议院共和党人誓言,在众议院通过的《保护美国选民资格法案》(SAVE America Act)通过参议院之前,将反对任何参议院法案。

“我们向美国人民许下了承诺,现在是兑现的时候了,”共和党人在致图恩的公开信中写道,这封信首先被福克斯新闻数字版获取。”不妨将此视为我们的阻挠议事。”

这是控制国会参众两院多数席位的共和党人之间的明显分歧。

众议院共和党人几周来一直威胁要阻挠参议院立法,直到唐纳德·特朗普总统签署该法案为止。《保护美国法案》要求选民登记时提供公民身份证明,并在投票站出示带照片的身份证件。

周二,参议院开始就《保护美国法案》展开马拉松式辩论,但由于参议院民主党人和阿拉斯加州共和党参议员莉萨·穆尔科斯基、北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯的一致反对,该法案最终预计将失败。

这群众议院保守派呼吁参议院领导层采取”冗长辩论”(filibuster)策略,绕过需要60票的门槛,以简单多数通过该法案。然而,共和党内部的分歧使该会议无法采取这一策略。图恩也警告称,如果民主党人在法案中加入民主党提出的修正案,冗长辩论可能会适得其反。

尽管参议院的票数明显不占优,这群众议院保守派表示他们将继续加大压力。他们还抨击图恩在没有足够票数将该法案推进到最终投票的情况下就开始辩论。

“继续上演老套的政治作秀是不可接受的,美国人民值得更好的对待,”法恩在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字版。”多数党领袖约翰·图恩可以随意评论我和我的同事们坚守立场,但我们不会再容忍华盛顿的政治游戏。”

“在上次选举中,美国人民压倒性地选举特朗普总统,并赋予他和共和党人’让美国再次伟大’的 mandate(授权)。这一授权的核心是承诺恢复对选举安全的信心——确保只有美国公民才能参与选举,”众议院议员们在信中写道。

目前尚不清楚这些反叛的议员是否有足够的票数立即阻挠得到两党广泛支持的参议院立法。

周二,41名保守派议员在众议院投票中反对一项重新授权小企业支持计划的参议院法案。尽管几乎所有民主党议员都支持该法案,它仍顺利通过了众议院。

然而,众议院保守派的威胁可能仍会阻碍议长路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊推动党内路线法案在众议院通过。

由于共和党在众议院仅以微弱多数席位执政,约翰逊目前在任何没有民主党支持的立法中,最多只能失去一名共和党议员。

“周日,特朗普总统宣布,在《保护美国法案》通过参议院之前,他不会签署任何其他立法。总统还呼吁参议院使用冗长辩论来立即确保《保护美国法案》通过,优先于其他一切事务。我们同意,”信中写道。”在这一情况发生之前,我们这些签署者准备在众议院投票中对任何参议院法案投反对票。”

一名参议院共和党助手就众议院共和党人的努力回击称:”共和党人相互攻击,争夺国会程序,这绝对是中期选举成功的秘诀。”

几周前,一群众议院共和党人在一次仅议员参加的电话会议上向约翰逊施压,要求在《保护美国法案》通过前拒绝任何参议院主导的立法。

“如果我们要与参议院的自己人开战,可能会有一些影响,”约翰逊在电话会议上表示,据参与通话的人士透露。”所以我们需要深思熟虑,谨慎行事。”

值得注意的是,这封信没有为国土安全部(DHS)拨款法案留出例外,尽管白宫向特朗普保证他会对一项结束部分政府停摆的支出法案破例。

Two dozen House Republicans go to war with Senate GOP over SAVE America Act

‘Consider this our filibuster,’ the House Republicans wrote

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House conservatives is putting Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on notice: quickly pass a Trump-backed election bill or expect the House of Representatives to block every Senate measure.

Two dozen House Republicans, led by Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., are vowing to oppose any Senate bill until the House-passed Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act clears the upper chamber.

“We made a promise to the American people. It’s time to deliver,” the Republicans wrote in an open letter to Thune, first obtained by Fox News Digital. “Consider this our filibuster.”

It’s a notable division between Republicans controlling the majorities in both houses of Congress.

House Republicans have threatened for weeks to derail Senate legislation until President Donald Trump signs the measure into law. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo identification for voters at the ballot box.

It comes as the Senate kicked off a marathon process Tuesday to debate the SAVE America Act, though the measure is ultimately expected to fail given unanimous opposition from Senate Democrats and Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C.

The group of House conservatives is calling on Senate leadership to pursue a talking filibuster to steer around the 60-vote requirement and pass the bill with a simple majority. However, internal divisions among Republicans have kept the conference from pursuing that approach. Thune has also warned a talking filibuster could backfire on Republicans if Democrats were to saddle the bill with Democratic-authored amendments.

Despite clear math problems in the Senate, the group of House conservatives said they would continue to ratchet up the pressure. They also slammed Thune for beginning debate on the bill without having the votes to advance the measure to a vote on final passage.

“Continuing the same old kabuki shows is unacceptable, and the American people deserve better,” Fine told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Majority Leader John Thune can say whatever he wants about my colleagues and me holding the line, but we won’t tolerate Washington’s games any longer.”

“In the last election, the American people overwhelmingly elected President Trump and gave him and the Republican Party a mandate to Make America Great Again. Core to that mandate was a promise to restore confidence in the security of our elections — to guarantee that only Americans vote in them,” the House lawmakers wrote in the letter.

It’s not clear the defecting group has the numbers to immediately derail Senate legislation with significant bipartisan support.

Forty-one conservatives revolted Tuesday on the House floor against Senate legislation that would reauthorize a program supporting small businesses. The measure still sailed through the House after nearly all Democratic lawmakers backed it.

However, House conservatives’ threats could still hamper efforts by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to steer party-line legislation through the chamber.

“On Sunday, President Trump announced that he will not sign any additional legislation until the SAVE America Act is passed out of the Senate. The President has also called on the Senate to use the talking filibuster to secure passage of the SAVE America Act immediately, superseding everything else. We agree,” the letter said. “Until that occurs, we, the undersigned, are prepared to vote NO on any Senate bill on the House Floor.”

A Senate GOP aide shot back at the House Republicans over their effort, saying, “Republicans fighting Republicans over congressional procedure is definitely a recipe for midterm success.”

It comes weeks after a group of House Republicans pushed Johnson on a lawmaker-only call to reject any Senate-led legislation until the SAVE America Act was passed.

“If we’re going to go to war against our own party in the Senate, there may be implications to that,” Johnson said at one point, according to people on the call. “So we want to be thoughtful and careful.”

The letter notably did not make a carve-out for a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, despite the White House assuring that Trump would make an exception for a spending bill to end the partial government shutdown.
