235 days since the House passed the SAVE Act, which would secure our elections, the Constitution is clear. You can provide some integration and some framework for our elections, voter ID, things like that. But the Senate's not moving on it. What is going on here? Listen, the Senate doesn't work. I've been very clear on this one. The filibuster is a major hurdle to getting common sense policy through both chambers of Congress here in Washington, D.C. The SAVE Act is common sense. It should go up for a vote. If Democrat senators want to vote it down, let them be on the record for it. But for it to not even get a vote in the Senate makes no sense. And this is actually one of the big issues we're having here on Capitol Hill. A lot of people are upset. They're saying, well, why isn't Congress doing more? I will tell you, a lot of policy ideas that are filed in the House don't even get to the floor because leadership is concerned -- I don't agree with them -- but they're concerned about things just going to sit in the Senate and not getting any action. I think we should continue to do our jobs here in the House, send bills over to the Senate. But the Senate has got to start voting for things. If Democrats want to vote things down, like the SAVE Act, or if they want to vote down voter ID in federal elections, or if they want to vote down simple common sense things like making sure that illegals are not counted for the purpose of setting congressional districts, that should all be voted for in the United States Senate, and if Democrats vote no, let the American people see that clearly. Yeah. And get them on the record, like you said. Well, Congress can buy them down, so we appreciate it.
