The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and photo identification for casting ballots, passed the House in February 2026 on a 218-213 vote but has stalled in the Senate. Multiple cloture attempts fell short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster, including 53-47 and 52-46 margins, with several Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. House leaders have attached the measure to must-pass legislation such as the NDAA and appropriations bills in procedural efforts to force consideration, while President Trump has urged inclusion in unrelated measures like housing and surveillance reauthorizations. As of early November 2026, the Senate has taken no final action, leaving enactment dependent on shifts in procedural votes or rule changes before any resolution deadline.
