The House of Representatives is on the brink of a showdown over a bill that would avert a government shutdown and mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration. The bill, combining a continuing resolution (CR) with the controversial SAVE Act, passed the House Rules Committee but faces opposition from several Republicans and the White House. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson faces pressure to navigate a tight vote and a potential clash with Senate Democrats.

The House of Representatives is heading into a critical period as it returns from its summer recess, facing a potential government shutdown if lawmakers fail to reach a deal on funding the government before the fiscal year ends on September 30th. A continuing resolution (CR) is likely needed to avoid a shutdown, but GOP infighting and a Democrat-controlled Senate could create obstacles to reaching a compromise.
