The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will vote on legislation on Wednesday that pairs a must-pass spending bill with tighter voting rules, setting up an election year clash with the Democratic-majority Senate that risks a partial government shutdown.

The House on Wednesday rejected Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposal that would have linked temporary funding for the federal government with a mandate that states require proof of citizenship

The effort has been a pet project of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and former President Donald Trump. But the legislation has received widespread criticism from Democrats, as non-citizens already can't vote in federal elections.
