President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.


If the president doesn’t sign a bill, it becomes law in 10 days. Sundays don’t count, and if congress adjourns during the period, it counts as a veto.

    Not signing anything while congress is in session means it becomes law within ten non-sunday days.

    Not that I would ever expect him to know that.

    That said, I also wouldn’t mind if he vetoed every partisan line bill coming out of this congress, either.

    Also, if this asshole ends voting by mail in Colorado, there are going to be a whole lot of absolutely LIVID people.

      Voting by mail is so nice too. I voted in person in NJ a few years back and I ended up waiting for ~2 hours after work. Now I vote by mail and waste no time.

        Yeah, the idea of being able to sit there, quietly, at your own house and fill out your form at your own leisure and research each proposal is great.

        Then you need to start canvassing those lazy people. Start knocking on doors and get the word out. Since you’re not lazy.
