Senate GOP Rejects War Powers Resolution After Trump’s Fiery Meeting

Republican senators were eager for a conciliatory meeting with the president after escalating tensions in recent weeks.

But Trump upended their plans when he declared on social media just beforehand that he wouldn’t sign the legislation until they sent him the SAVE America Act, his bill to require proof of citizenship for all voters.

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis said he doesn’t know why Trump is holding the housing bill “hostage” for the voting bill that “will never pass in this Congress.”

“It makes no sense to me,” Tillis said as he walked into the luncheon.
