President Donald Trump has called on the U.S. Senate to pass the SAVE Act.
The bill aims to require voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The U.S. House passed the bill in April but it has stalled in the Senate.

A handful of Republicans have voted against the bill, including Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Thom Tillis (R-NC)
The SAVE Act needs 60 votes in the Senate to overcome the filibuster. Republicans hold 53 seats.

Only US citizens should be voting in US elections.
