FISA Section 702 Vote Slips to April as SAVE Act Poison Pill and Conservative Revolt Complicate Reauthorization

House Republican leaders postponed the FISA Section 702 reauthorization vote to April after internal opposition prevented swift passage, with the authority set to expire April 20. Speaker Johnson confirmed plans to move a 'clean extension of FISA for at least 18 months,' but faces a two-front revolt: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) announced plans to attach the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) to the bill, while multiple Republicans oppose any 702 renewal without warrant requirements. Trump has signaled he will not sign legislation until Congress passes the SAVE Act separately, creating a legislative collision. 'Any bill connected to the SAVE Act, including a FISA extension, is guaranteed to fail,' Sen. Wyden warned. Fox News reported that Johnson can only lose one GOP vote during the procedural rule vote to advance without Democratic support. NSA has assessed that 60% of the President's Daily Brief contains Section 702-enabled intelligence.
