House GOP leadership is sending members home early for the weeklong July 4 recess, after a GOP blockade shut down the floor for the second week in a row.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) canceled scheduled votes over his inability to pass procedural rule votes to allow legislation to come to the floor, as a coalition of Republicans is refusing to vote to advance legislation over a grab bag of issues, including the Senate’s inability to pass the SAVE America Act.
Rep.
Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) led the GOP blockade that started last week over the flagship voter ID bill.
The Florida Republican, along with a coalition of members, has vowed to vote against the procedural rule until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act.
“We’ve passed SAVE America now three times, and the Senate has refused to act,” Luna told reporters Tuesday.
“In fact, they’re on vacation right now.
I have talked to Sen.
Mike Lee.
I’ve run through the procedural hurdles with my own team.
I’ve even gone as far as reaching out directly to see what are the fail-safe options.”
Luna continued, “There’s other issues that other members had, but the fact that I’m being singled out because I know procedure, I’m not stupid.
I’m going to fight on behalf of the American people.”
Rep.
Chip Roy (R-TX), a member of the Rules Committee, told reporters that his “no” vote stemmed from the House’s “failure to accomplish certain other objectives, including codification of the Trump border security, in terms of certain amendments that were not made in order that I think should have been.”
Meanwhile, House Democrats have slammed their Republican counterparts.
“We are at yet another Republican standstill,” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) said in a video.
“They are fighting with themselves, and we are doing nothing to help the American people.
And you know what is at the heart of this fight?
Taking away your right to vote and passing Trump’s Save Act.”
FOURTEEN REPUBLICANS PARALYZE HOUSE FLOOR OVER SAVE AMERICA ACT CONCERNS
The House remains frustrated with the Senate’s failure to pass this legislation, but the addition of the SAVE America Act to the defense spending bill likely would have doomed the legislation in the Senate, as Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has been unable to bring the measure to the president’s desk.
Thune has chalked up the failure of passage to the semantics in his chamber, particularly the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
The House is not scheduled to return until July 13.
When they return, the House will only have eight legislative days until the chamber leaves Washington once again for a monthlong August recess.
