Speaker Johnson being pressured to attach SAVE Act to continuing resolution: report

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is getting pressure from conservatives to attach the SAVE Act to the upcoming continuing resolution, according to reports. 

The SAVE Act is legislation that requires individuals to show proof of American citizenship before casting their vote. It has been pushed by conservatives over the past few months. 

Democrats have pushed back against it, saying that illegal migrants already can't vote in elections. 

This could result in a government shutdown, according to Punchbowl News.

Johnson will have to get 218 votes for a continuing resolution and there are Republicans who have already said they won't vote for another one. 

A continuing resolution has to be passed by Sep. 30 or there will be at least a partial government shutdown.
