What we found

Supports. Reuters reports the House voted 218-213 on Feb. 11, 2026 to approve the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S. citizenship for midterm voters.[1]

Supports. Reuters and FactCheck.org note a similar measure passed the House twice (April 2025 and 2024) before dying in the Senate, matching the post's "passed out of the House twice" remark.[1][2]

Context. The bill has not passed the Senate, which the post also says; the claim asserts only House passage.[1][5]
