The promised outcome was a federal statutory requirement for documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The cited SAVE Act, H.R. 22, matched the promise and passed the House with Carter voting yes, which is a concrete same-term effort and material advancement. But the evidence shows it had not passed the Senate or become law, so the promised requirement was not fully delivered.
