WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump said Monday he wont sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans' ability to vote by mail, a startling demand months before the midterm elections.
Trump told House Republicans during their annual retreat at his golf club in Florida that he doesn't think they will win elections unless voting laws are toughened up to prevent fraud even though mail ballots are popular in many states and federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, with scant evidence that noncitizens ever try to vote.
The president wants to bolster the so-called SAVE America Act, which the House has already approved, and he pressed the Senate to push past its filibuster rules to send it to his desk. Voting experts have said the bill could disenfranchise some 20 million American voters who don't have birth certificates or other documents readily available, a number that would likely swell with the additional ban on mail balloting that Trump is demanding.
I'm not going to sign anything until this is approved, Trump said, calling it his No. 1 priority.

Dumbass doesn't know any bill he doesn't sign passed by Congress automatically becomes law after ten days.

(54,769 posts)You remember that historical filibuster speech by Cory Booker? And all that information that you wished wasn't made public?
Want to see that replayed, but by at least 20 more Senators?
Really?
