<p>The conservative <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/freedom-caucus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freedom Caucus</a> unveiled on Monday a strategy that seeks to avoid a &#8220;lame duck&#8221; omnibus package that could extend Democrat priorities into a second term of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> as president and would throw in a bill that requires voters to prove citizenship.</p>
<p>Congress has until the <a href="https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2024/07/29/budget-appropriations-recess-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">end of September</a> to pass legislation to fund the various arms of the federal government or face the prospect of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/government-shutdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shutdown</a>, but the GOP-led House is not expected to return from summer recess until three weeks before that deadline. If lawmakers cannot pass individual spending bills, they could resort to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pork-parks-and-woke-all-the-fun-features-in-1-7-trillion-omnibus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive omnibus</a> full of pork and perks.</p>
<p>The Freedom Caucus, which includes a few dozen members, &#8220;believes that House Republicans should return to Washington to continue the work of passing all 12 appropriations bills to cut spending and advance our policy priorities,&#8221; the group said in a new statement.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Stop Illegals from Voting and Block The Biden-Harris Omnibus” <a href="https://t.co/dPJ3Gh3GyY">pic.twitter.com/dPJ3Gh3GyY</a></p>
<p>&mdash; House Freedom Caucus (@freedomcaucus) <a href="https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/1822973992229097876?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 12, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;If unsuccessful, in the inevitability that Congress considers a Continuing Resolution, government funding should be extended into early 2025 to avoid a lame duck omnibus that preserves Democrat spending and policies well into the next administration,&#8221; the statement continued.</p>
<p>Such a plan for a stop-gap measure bets against Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, who replaced President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> atop the Democratic Party&#8217;s ticket, prevailing in the November election as the group noted atop its statement that it would &#8220;ensure Democrats cannot undermine&#8221; a second Trump term with an omnibus in December.</p>
<p>The Freedom Caucus also called for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-all-house-dems-vote-against-bill-requiring-voters-prove-citizenship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act</a>, which aims to require individuals show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office and pushes states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls, to be added to the short-term spending bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;Furthermore, the Continuing Resolution should include the SAVE Act — as called for by President Trump — to prevent non-citizens from voting to preserve free and fair elections in light of the millions of illegal aliens imported by the Biden-Harris administration over the last four years,&#8221; the group said.</p>
<p>While the House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nearly-all-house-dems-vote-against-bill-requiring-voters-prove-citizenship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the SAVE Act in July with some bipartisan support, the Democrat-led Senate has not taken it up and the Biden administration signaled its opposition to the legislation. Democrats may rally behind the idea of a continuing resolution, but there could be a flashpoint with conservatives over the SAVE Act. House conservatives <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-passes-another-short-term-spending-bill-rejecting-conservative-bid-for-border-attachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to get</a> border security reforms attached to a short-term spending bill the chamber passed earlier this year.</p>
<p>Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4815216-speaker-johnson-interview-harris-walz-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Hill</a> last week that lawmakers were &#8220;having some very thoughtful discussion about the pros and cons of the various strategies&#8221; on avoiding a government shutdown. He said a decision was &#8220;not yet determined, but it will be very soon.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), a Trump ally, said on Monday that he backs the Freedom Caucus&#8217;s latest plan. &#8220;This is the way. It is the last chance for Democrats (and a few Republicans) to sabotage President Trump’s next term, fund Biden’s disastrous policies, and leave the door open to illegal voting. Don’t let it happen,&#8221; Lee said in a <a href="https://x.com/SenMikeLee/status/1823030235840852227">post</a> to X.</p>
<p>Government spending is no small issue as the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/national-debt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national debt</a>, which has surged under Republican and Democrat administrations in the White House in recent years, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/national-debt-surpasses-35-trillion-gop-raises-the-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surpassed</a> $35 trillion for the first time last month. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, <a href="https://x.com/RepScottPerry/status/1817962607355298217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> the debt was on track to reach $36 trillion by mid-November.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, the U.S. national debt hit $35 trillion &#8211; that&#8217;s $104,497 PER PERSON &#8211; and by mid-November, it&#8217;ll reach $36 trillion,&#8221; Perry said on X. &#8220;The Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s push for more out-of-control spending is unacceptable, and further imperils our great Nation.&#8221;</p>
