House passes requirement to prove U.S. citizenship to vote | 10 April 2025 | The House passed a bill aimed at ensuring only legal U.S. citizens can vote in elections Thursday, making good on a campaign promise President Trump frequently touted during the election. Just four Democrats joined a unanimous Republican caucus in approving the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — or SAVE Act — which aims to enshrine into law an executive action signed by the president last month requiring proof of citizenship to cast a ballot. Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington were the only Democrats to vote in support of the bill, which passed with a final tally of 220-208.
