Texas Congressman Chip Roy has delivered a constitutional roadmap that could finally give Americans the election security they've been demanding - and he's doing it without handing Democrats their favorite talking point about "nuking the filibuster."
In an exclusive interview with The Federalist, Roy laid out exactly how the Senate can advance the SAVE Act under current parliamentary rules, bypassing the legislative gridlock that has plagued conservative priorities for years.
"We can move the legislation under CURRENT rules without 'nuking' the filibuster," Roy explained, emphasizing that Republicans don't need to resort to the same scorched-earth tactics Democrats threatened throughout the Biden regime.
The SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections, has been a cornerstone of President Trump's election integrity agenda. While common sense to most Americans, the legislation has faced typical Democrat obstruction despite overwhelming public support for basic voting safeguards.
Constitutional Strategy Trumps Political Games
Roy's approach demonstrates the kind of constitutional thinking that separates principled conservatives from the swamp dwellers who've made careers out of political theater. Instead of crying about Senate rules like Democrats did when they couldn't ram through their radical agenda, Roy is working within the system our founders designed.
"This isn't about parliamentary tricks - it's about using the Constitution the way it was intended," a congressional source familiar with Roy's strategy told Next News Network.
The timing couldn't be more critical. With President Trump's second term focused on securing America's elections and restoring faith in our democratic processes, having a clear legislative path forward removes excuses from any Republican senators who might be looking for reasons to avoid taking a stand.
Democrats have spent years fear-mongering about the filibuster while simultaneously threatening to eliminate it whenever it served their purposes. Now Roy is showing Republicans don't need to play by those same hypocritical rules.
The question now becomes simple: will Senate Republicans seize this opportunity to deliver on election integrity, or will they find new excuses to avoid doing what their voters sent them to Washington to accomplish?
