Senate Republicans opened debate on the SAVE America Act on March 17 with a 51-48 procedural vote, launching a political showdown over voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements that everyone involved acknowledges will not produce a law. The real drama lies not in the bill's fate but in the power struggle between President Trump — who is demanding Senate Republicans blow up the filibuster to pass it — and Majority Leader John Thune, who is trying to satisfy the president's base without destroying the institution he leads.
