Rep. Massie says he didn’t vote against the Save America Act, but against a rule

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Kentucky GOP Congressman Thomas Massie pushed back on a rumor that he voted against the Save America Act, clarifying that he only voted against a rule that was in it.

“There’s a false rumor that I voted against the Save America Act today,” Massie wrote on X.

“I’ll vote for it when it comes to the floor.”

He clarified that he voted against a specific rule regarding the bill.

“I voted against a ‘rule’ that allows it to get a vote, but the ‘rule’ also suspends house rules and allows spending bills to come to the floor with no 24hr notice!” his post continued.

The House advanced the Save America Act, as well as three measures.

The lower chamber voted 216-215 to pass the rule, meaning there will be a vote on all four measures soon, according to The Hill newspaper.

The SAVE America act would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote in elections.

The legislation has been pushed by many Republicans in the House, specifically Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.

“If the Senate does not pass the SAVE Act and/or schedule a date for a vote by the time we return, I have enough votes from other members to shut down the floor of the House,” Luna wrote on the social media platform, X, in January.
