U.S. Representative. Mike Bost voted Wednesday evening for a federal spending package to fund the government through March of next year and require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Due to overwhelming Democrat opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act reforms, the bill failed to pass the House. Congress must approve legislation funding the government by Sept. 30 or risk lapses in essential services.
Congressional leaders are expected to resume efforts this week to end the spending impasse before the end of the month.
