Trump wastes no time back tracking on his pledge to not 'sign other bills'

Summary
President Donald Trump recently ramped up his push for Congress' Republican majorities to get the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) — a controversial voting bill — passed when he vowed to not sign any more bills into law until SAVE passes. And he insisted that there would be no exceptions.But according to CNN reporter Aaron Blake, Trump is already breaking that promise.In a Friday morning, March 20 post on X, formerly Twitter, Blake highlighted a social media post from Trump — noting, "Just two weeks ago, Trump said be wouldn’t sign other legislation until the SAVE Act passes. Now he's demanding the Farm Bill, even though the SAVE Act hasn't passed."Trump, in his post, wrote, "CONGRESS, PASS THE FARM BILL, NOW! President DJT."The SAVE Act is drawing a great deal of criticism from Democratic lawmakers as well as from MS NOW's Joe Scarbourgh and other Never Trump conservatives.The bill calls for proof of citizenship in order to vote, and under its requirements, a regular state-issued driver's license would not be enough. One would need to present additional proof, which could be a U.S. passport or a birth certificate. But critics of SAVE are pointing out that many Americans don't own passports and arguing that birth certificates wouldn't help married women, as the names they are now going by don't match the names on their birth certificates.
