WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he won’t sign any other legislation into law until Congress passes a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill that he says also must end Americans' ability to vote by mail, a startling demand months before the midterm elections.

Trump told House Republicans during their annual retreat at his golf club in Florida that he doesn't think they will win elections unless voting laws are toughened up to prevent fraud — even though mail ballots are popular in many states and federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, with scant evidence that noncitizens ever try to vote.

So he's pretty much admitting they need to cheat to win.

do away with it when they are in charge, which they will surely do. There's enough Republicans terrified of that so that they will never vote to change it now. Thune has repeatedly said that and it appears there is no chance of that changing.

if he doesn't sign it within ten days it goes into effect automatically, if Congress is in session. If Congress isn't in session it doesn't go into effect. So it doesn't matter what the hell he does.
