Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is threatening to derail House Republican leaders' legislative agenda for weeks, including a bipartisan housing bill, unless the chamber fights for the SAVE America Act, the stalled Trump-backed voter ID and citizenship-proof legislation."I will be voting no and oppose other bills AND rules until we fight for SAVE America Act," Luna threatened Monday on X. "That means if House GOP leadership chooses today to move the SENATE HOUSING BILL under suspension (getting rid of our house rules) I will vote to shut the floor down. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE."Luna told Politico she would oppose the procedural rule for this week and going forward. The move could derail Speaker Mike Johnson's plans for weeks if she and her allies follow through. "There is a group" willing to do this, she said.The threat puts Johnson in a bind. House GOP leaders had planned to fast-track the latest Senate-amended version of the bipartisan housing bill under suspension of the rules, a procedure requiring a two-thirds supermajority. The bill has already passed both chambers in earlier versions, but the Senate sent back a newly amended iteration yesterday.The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and a photo ID to cast a ballot, and it passed the House earlier this year but has stalled in the Senate, facing Democratic opposition. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has resisted using a "talking filibuster" to push it through, drawing Luna's ire.Luna previously threatened to sink FISA reauthorization unless the SAVE America Act was attached. Those standoffs ended without resolution, and the Senate bill remains in limbo.
