特朗普周一要求参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩取消参议院定于8月7日开始的8月休会，直至通过《拯救美国法》这一严格的证明公民身份投票法案1。特朗普在社交媒体上表示："约翰·图恩不应该允许美国参议院'离开'，除非通过《拯救美国法》，或者更好的是终止冗长辩论规则"1。
虽然共和党在参议院掌握53-47的多数1，但缺乏通过该法案所需的票数1。该法案已投票5次1，众议院上周批准的预算框架包括100亿美元用于投票相关变更1。图恩回应称，如果有可行路径就支持取消休会，但他已要求看到"胜利的图景"1。白宫新闻发言人卡罗琳·莱维特表示，特朗普的"耐心已经用尽"1。特朗普还表示他周五"肯定愿意"帮助致电参议员以推动该议程1。
投票专家警告称，该法案可能导致约2000万没有出生证或其他文件的美国选民被剥夺投票权1。
Former President Donald Trump has called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the chamber's August break until it passes strict voter citizenship verification legislation known as the Save America Act.1 In a social media post, Trump stated that Thune "should not allow the United States Senate to 'leave town' until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER."1
The push faces significant procedural obstacles. Republicans hold a slim 53-47 majority in the Senate, leaving them short of the votes needed to pass the controversial measure, which has already been put to a vote five times.1 The House approved a budget framework that includes $10 billion allocated for voting-related changes.1 The August recess is currently scheduled to begin on August 7.1 When asked about Trump's demand, Thune responded that he would support canceling the break if a viable path to passage existed, though he requested to see a "winning picture" before committing.1
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated Trump's frustration with the legislative pace, stating that "his patience is running out."1 Trump also said he would be "certainly willing" to help by calling senators to push for the bill's passage.1 Voting experts have warned that the legislation could disenfranchise approximately 20 million American voters who lack birth certificates or other documentation.1
