The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the Republican-led Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in a 221-198 vote, which requires voters to prove their citizenship in the United States in order to vote in federal elections.

The SAVE Act was introduced by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican, earlier this year, but could be vetoed by President Joe Biden if it reaches his desk later this year.

The Biden administration said it opposes the bill because it is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.

“The alleged justification for this bill is based on easily disproven falsehoods,” the administration said in a statement on Monday. “Additionally, making a false claim of citizenship or unlawfully voting in an election is punishable by removal from the United States and a permanent bar to admission.”
