Mike Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House, is calling upon members of the House to once again pass the American Save Act, but this time to make it part of a reconciliation bill. That’s how the Big, Beautiful Bill passed last July.
As part of a reconciliation bill, the American Save Act would not need the approval of 60 Senators. A simple majority is all that would be needed, meaning 50 or more Senate votes. Because a 50-50 Senate tie could be settled in the affirmative by Vice President J.D. Vance, that would transform the seemingly dead bill into actual law.
Obviously, it’s rather pathetic that such an important piece of legislation — approved by 80 percent or more of all voters — has to pass in such a fashion. Let’s face it. Republicans hold slender margins in both Chambers of Congress. These slender counts have left them vulnerable, especially in a Senate under the control of so many out-of-touch and corrupt members.
Fortunately, 13 Senators will be gone after 2026, including former Speaker Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, as well as John Cornyn of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who the voters ousted in re-election primaries. Americans are fed up, and rightfully so. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.
