the American people demand and deserve that we do everything possible to secure the elections that's what we've been saying consistently that's what I have heard from the people across the country in 198 cities across 39 States it's consistent from coast to coast north to south we're going to continue to work on this the whip is going to do the hard work and build consensus we're going to work through the weekend on that and I want any member of Congress and either party to explaining the American people why we should not ensure that only US citizens are voting in US election we're going to work on that issue around the clock because we have an obligation to the people to do it and that's what the fight is that's what's important it's the most pressing issue right now and uh we're going to get this job done no no vote today because we're in the consensus building uh business here in congress with small majorities that's what you do that's what I've been doing since I became speaker we're having thoughtful conversations family conversations within the Republican conference and I believe get there so um people have concerns about all sorts of things that's how the process works and sometimes it takes a little more time so continue pursuing this strategy but not today for a vote we have two obligations right now Congress has a lot of responsibilities but two primary obligations responsibly fund the government and make sure that our elections are free and fair and secure
