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.

It's not worth fighting for. It always has and still is a land of thieving, lying bastards. You can die for it if you want. I'd rather just go.

Hey that’s your choice, my experience of other countries is that they’re all full of thieving lying bastards. The difference is these are my bastards to deal with.

Good luck on your journey though!
