Thune resists recess cancellation

President Donald Trump demanded that the Senate remain in session until it passes the SAVE America Act or eliminates the filibuster. The bill would require documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections and voter identification to cast a ballot. John Thune (Sen-R South Dakota) said he would cancel the five-week August recess only if the bill has a realistic path to passage—not merely to stage futile procedural votes.
