## Resource

Yesterday, President Trump refused to sign a bipartisan housing bill that passed the Senate 89 to 10. His reason? Congress will not pass the SAVE America Act — a bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. The Senate's response was essentially: we don't have the votes. Do you understand the message that sends? When 83% of the country supports something and 40 senators can kill it permanently, we need to talk about what that actually means.
