Summary

A GOP-led procedural vote in the House failed after nine Republicans joined Democrats, halting legislative action for the week.

The vote’s collapse blocked Republican efforts to pass the No Rogue Rulings Act, aimed at limiting federal judges’ power, and the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote.

The failed rule also sought to derail a bipartisan resolution allowing proxy voting for new parents, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.

With the rule defeated, Speaker Mike Johnson canceled all remaining votes until Monday evening, stalling key GOP priorities.

    explain [to] me the controversy of requiring proof of citizenship?

    1. “Explain me” asks for an explanation about you and not to you. Compare “discuss me about the office.”
    2. The issue is that ID in America isn’t provided easily and cheaply/freely like civilized countries, and regions of America are so poor that getting proper ID paperwork could create food insecurity.

    This problem dramatically affects people who don’t present as white, male, and non-poor, so Republicans say ‘suffer’ and Democrats don’t realize the route forward is no-cost ID. If Estonia figured it out, (cost, not related social issues) so can America.

        I think your second point is fine, but your first point comes across as condescending and needlessly pedantic. The meaning was clear enough.
