I’m fully on board with whatever it takes to pass the SAVE America Act, but we need to pass it. We need to show our voters we’re fighting for it.
I will do whatever it takes to pass the SAVE America Act.
Occurrences
Evidence
Current reporting says the SAVE America Act has passed the House but remains stalled in the Senate, where filibuster math and insufficient support have prevented final passage.
Congress.gov lists H.R.22 as sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy, passed by the House 220-208 on April 10, 2025, and received in the Senate the same day. Its tracker status is Passed House, with Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law still not completed.
Congress.gov lists S.128 as introduced by Sen. Mike Lee on January 16, 2025, referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and still at the Introduced step.
Congress.gov lists Sen. Banks, Jim [R-IN] as a cosponsor of S.128 on April 9, 2025.
Congress.gov records the July 10, 2024 House passage vote on H.R.8281 as 221-198 and lists Rep. Jim Banks [R-IN] voting Aye.
Congress.gov lists H.R.8281 as Passed House, with latest action on July 23, 2024: read the second time and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. The CRS summary says the bill required documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Assessments
The SAVE Act has not become federal law: the 119th Congress House bill passed the House but has not passed the Senate, and the Senate companion remains introduced/referred rather than enacted. Banks did take concrete same-term legislative action by cosponsoring S.128 in the Senate, and he previously voted for a House version in the 118th Congress, so he deserves an effort badge. But the promised outcome was passage of the act, and that has not been delivered as of July 6, 2026.
