President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.
“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

Fine with me. Also the SAVE act must not pass. 85% of married women WILL NOT be able to vote. Plain and simple.
This is a great way to attack our right to vote and Republicans hate women, so they would love for women not to be able to vote again.
I understand that you guys have a crude system over there, bit why cant 85% of married women not vote under this proposed bill??
The bill requires that a voter’s name match their birth certificate, and many women (and some men) changed their names when they got married.
Having already brought this point up with a MAGAt at work, she honestly thinks they will make exceptions for all married women.
The mental gymnastics and denial of reality is exhausting.
Because they took their husband’s family name, which probably doesn’t match their birth certificate.
probably
Alabama women won’t flip the vote, anyway.
That stop gap budget runs out soon right?
Shut 'er down.
Establish escrow accounts for taxes and welfare/ubi.
The SAVE Act passing is probably a good sign to leave the US.
If I had the means, I’d have left years ago.
… good?
Tempt us with a good time 🤣
Supreme court and Congress have a lot to catch up on so that would be great.
Better headline: President holds country hostage until he gets what he wants.
Better headline: Corrupt, treasonous pedophile yadda yadda…
A president refusing to do their duty should be impeached imo.
What’s the outcome of impeachment? He has a higher number than he can count to, so what would be the point?
I believe there’s an amendment to take care of that, it’s the second one.
What’s the magical number of impeachments you think would have any affect whatsoever? Words on pieces of paper do not mean a fucking thing, shit will keep getting worse until people realize this.

Should somebody tell him about the 10 days thing, or should we let it be a fun surprise?
Honestly I was not aware of that until another comment explained it.
Oh NO! The President NOT Signing bills that the Majority of Americans HATE in an Election year is a TERRIBLE Threat! Quick! PASS the SAVE Act!
-Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries!
Is he also refusing to eat his vegetables?
I’m joking, as if he’s ever eaten a vegetable.
Ah, yes, the good ol’ pocket veto.
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
I think he has to try to return the bill in order for “adjournment to count as veto”.
Oh noes
Good.
