唐纳德·特朗普总统试图平息对其与参议院民主党人协商的资金协议日益增长的反对声浪,此前越来越多的众议院保守派对立法提出关键要求未得到满足。


众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(R-路易斯安那州)正小心翼翼地在众议院共和党人中周旋,这些共和党人要求将选举诚信立法纳入特朗普支持的协议中。约翰逊上周与参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默(D-纽约州)进行了谈判。

政府已进入部分停摆的第三天。将《保障美国选民资格法案》(SAVE Act)纳入该一揽子计划将使立法返回参议院,而舒默已誓言将阻止该法案。

这可能会延长原本旨在临时的关闭状态。

特朗普在Truth Social上降低众议院共和党人的紧张情绪,并指出:“我正与议长约翰逊努力将上周在参议院通过的当前资金协议推进到众议院,并送到我的办公桌前,我将立即签署成为法律!”

“我们需要让政府重新开门,我希望所有共和党人和民主党人都能加入我的行列支持这项法案,并立即将其送到我的办公桌前,”特朗普说,“目前不能有任何修改。”

“我们将本着诚意共同努力解决提出的问题,但我们不能再有另一场漫长、无意义且具有破坏性的停摆,这将严重损害我们的国家——一场既不利于共和党也不利于民主党,”他继续说道,“我希望所有人都能投赞成票!”

以佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜为首的一批众议院共和党人希望将《保障美国选民资格法案》(SAVE Act)附加到五项法案的资金一揽子计划中,以及为国土安全部(DHS)提供短期延期。

该法案将要求各州在人们登记投票时必须现场提供公民身份证明,并将非公民从选民名单中删除。

田纳西州共和党众议员蒂姆·伯切特周一告诉福克斯新闻数字版,他倾向于在不附加《保障美国选民资格法案》的情况下投反对票,以推进资金协议。南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员威廉·蒂蒙斯和密苏里州共和党众议员埃里克·伯尔利森也发出了类似威胁。

自去年在众议院通过以来,该法案长期被搁置。由于参议院需要60票才能突破阻挠议事规则,且参议院民主党人甚至不愿考虑支持该法案,其在参议院通过的可能性更低。

他们提出这些要求之际,作为大多数立法获得全院投票的最后把关者,众议院规则委员会定于周一晚上开会审议资金协议。约翰逊在周一下午与规则委员会成员会面,为会议做准备。

附加《保障美国选民资格法案》可能会扼杀任何获得众议院民主党人支持的可能性,而这些民主党人已经对该协议持反对态度。

而如果该法案能进入参议院,上议院的民主党人也准备阻止它。

然而,如果不附加该法案,众议院保守派团体可能会在被称为“规则投票”的程序性障碍中扼杀该资金协议。由众议院规则委员会推进的法案将设置全院规则投票,若通过将开启辩论并最终投票通过。

规则投票通常沿党派路线分裂。在周末得克萨斯州补选中获胜的新当选民主党人宣誓就职后,约翰逊的多数优势仅剩一票,他几乎无法容忍任何异议。

舒默周一明确反对这一想法,指责共和党人推动“让人想起吉姆·克劳时代”的立法,他辩称这将是压制选民而非鼓励更安全选举的手段。

“这是一颗毒药丸,会扼杀任何附加该法案的立法,”舒默在一份声明中说,“如果众议院共和党人将《保障美国选民资格法案》添加到两党拨款一揽子计划中,将导致特朗普政府再次长期停摆。”

President Donald Trump is trying to quell a growing rebellion against the funding deal he negotiated with Senate Democrats as a growing number of House conservatives threaten to sink the legislation if a key demand is not met.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is walking a tightrope with House Republicans demanding the inclusion of election integrity legislation to the Trump-backed deal, which he negotiated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., last week.

The government is in its third day of a partial shutdown. Adding the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, to the package would send the legislation back to the Senate, where Schumer has already vowed to block it.

That would likely extend what was intended to be a temporary closure.

SCHUMER NUKES GOP PUSH FOR ‘JIM CROW-ERA’ VOTER ID LAWS IN TRUMP-BACKED SHUTDOWN PACKAGE

Trump took to Truth Social to lower the temperature among House Republicans, and noted that he was “working hard with Speaker Johnson to get the current funding deal, which passed in the Senate last week, through the House and to my desk, where I will sign it into Law, IMMEDIATELY!”

“We need to get the Government open, and I hope all Republicans and Democrats will join me in supporting this Bill, and send it to my desk WITHOUT DELAY,” Trump said. “There can be NO CHANGES at this time.”

HOUSE DEMOCRATS MUTINY SCHUMER’S DEAL WITH WHITE HOUSE, THREATENING LONGER SHUTDOWN

“We will work together in good faith to address the issues that have been raised, but we cannot have another long, pointless, and destructive Shutdown that will hurt our Country so badly — One that will not benefit Republicans or Democrats,” he continued. “I hope everyone will vote, YES!”

A cohort of House Republicans, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., wants to see the SAVE Act attached to the five-bill funding package plus short-term extension for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

It would require states to obtain proof of citizenship in-person when people register to vote and remove non-citizens from voter rolls.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital on Monday that he was leaning against voting to advance the funding deal if the SAVE Act was not attached. Reps. William Timmons, R-S.C., and Eric Burlison, R-Mo., have foreshadowed similar threats.

It’s legislation that has long been shelved since advancing from the House last year. Its passage in the upper chamber is even more unlikely because of the 60-vote filibuster threshold and Senate Democrats’ reticence to even consider supporting it.

‘OPENING PANDORA’S BOX’: MIKE JOHNSON BACKS TRUMP AFTER WARNING WHITE HOUSE ABOUT DEAL WITH DEMOCRATS

Their demands come as the House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper for most legislation to get a chamber-wide vote, is set to meet Monday evening to consider the funding deal. Johnson met with Rules Committee members on Monday afternoon ahead of their scheduled meeting.

Tacking on the SAVE Act would likely kill any chance of the spending deal earning support from House Democrats, who are already resistant to the deal.

And if it were to make it to the Senate, Democrats in the upper chamber are primed to block it.

Without it, however, the group of House conservatives could kill the spending deal during a procedural hurdle called a “rule vote.” The House Rules Committee advancing the bill sets up a chamber-wide rule vote, which if successful would unlock debate and set up a final vote on passage.

Rule votes generally fall along partisan lines. And with a one-vote majority after the swearing-in of a new House Democrat who won a special election in Texas over the weekend, Johnson can afford little dissent.

Schumer laid out an edict on Monday against the idea, where he accused Republicans of pushing legislation “reminiscent of Jim Crow-era laws,” that he argued would act as a means to suppress voters rather than encourage more secure elections.

“It is a poison pill that will kill any legislation that it is attached to,” Schumer said in a statement. “If House Republicans add the SAVE Act to the bipartisan appropriations package it will lead to another prolonged Trump government shutdown.”
