A group of at least fourteen House Republicans rejected a procedural vote on the National Defense Authorization Act. Their opposition stemmed from the exclusion of the SAVE Act, a Republican-backed election integrity bill. This recurring conflict over the SAVE Act has disrupted House proceedings and stalled other legislation. The SAVE Act, while passed by the House, faces significant obstacles in the Senate due to a lack of Democratic support. Conservatives are attempting to pressure Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to pass the bill. Previously, Speaker Mike Johnson had to cancel votes due to similar conservative opposition. The fourteen Republicans voting against the rule did so because their desired SAVE Act amendment was not included. Majority Leader Steve Scalise voted against the rule to facilitate its later reconsideration. Speaker Johnson proposed packaging the SAVE Act with the defense bill for the Senate, but the Senate could remove it. Another suggestion to include parts of the SAVE Act in a reconciliation bill was also rejected by conservatives. Despite President Trump's plea to cease disrupting votes, these Republicans have not complied. The future of the defense bill and other legislative plans before the July 4 recess remains uncertain.
