BREAKING: House Passes President Trump's SAVE America Act Inside MAJOR National Security Bill!

WLT Report · back to the audit
House Republicans just found a powerful new vehicle for President Trump's election-integrity agenda.

The House voted Wednesday evening to pass a major national-security spending package carrying the SAVE America Act, putting documentary proof of citizenship and voter-identification requirements back in front of the Senate.

The final vote on H.R. 8595 was 217-209. This was the final House vote, not another procedural step.

Under the rule adopted by the House, the Clerk is directed to append the House-passed text of the SAVE America Act to the national-security bill when the package is formally prepared and sent across the Capitol.

The official roll call from the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House shows 215 Republicans voting yes. It also records every member's position, making clear that the final margin came from nearly the entire GOP conference plus two votes from outside it.

Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and independent Rep. Kevin Kiley of California joined them.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the only member of the GOP conference to vote no. All 208 other Democrats who cast ballots opposed the package, while five members did not vote.

The Clerk recorded the vote at 5:11 p.m. Eastern, following a motion on final passage. The two cross-party yes votes gave the bill 217 supporters against 209 opponents.

That result came one day after the House approved the rule for debate by a narrower 215-211 margin.

Wednesday's vote was the one that actually passed H.R. 8595 and sent the combined package toward the Senate.

The underlying bill is formally known as the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027. It funds major foreign-policy and national-security operations.

The adopted language published by the House Committee on Rules directs the Clerk to append the House-passed SAVE America Act text when the national-security package is formally prepared. That House-passed text comes from Senate Bill 1383, the measure lawmakers renamed the SAVE America Act before approving it in February.

Speaker Johnson laid out the stakes before the vote: "Safeguarding American elections and strengthening our national defense are the most basic responsibilities of Congress and are supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. While House Republicans have UNANIMOUSLY PASSED the SAVE Act THREE TIMES, Congressional Democrats..."

The official legislative history shows the standalone measure passed the House on February 11 by a 218-213 vote.

There is also a separate strategy underway. Vice President JD Vance met with Johnson on Wednesday to discuss moving SAVE America Act priorities through reconciliation, where a qualifying measure could pass with 50 senators plus the Vice President breaking a tie. That is a different legislative track from H.R. 8595, and it matters because ordinary Senate legislation can still face the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
