U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) has announced the introduction of a bill that would allow states to require proof of citizenship during the voter registration process.

The congressman’s “Citizen Ballot Protection Act” would authorize states to ensure a voter applicant holds United States citizenship by amending the National Voter Registration Act.

Following the introduction of his bill, Palmer issued a statement asserting that it was “common sense” to enable states to require individuals to be a citizen prior to registering them to vote.

Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06) on Friday introduced legislation that would allow states to require proof of citizenship in order to vote. H.R. 8223, the Citizen Ballot Protection Act, would allow states to require proof of citizenship for voters by amending the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Americans have had more than a year to experience President Joe Biden’s administration.

If Biden’s slouching poll numbers are any indication, Americans aren’t thrilled with the president’s performance.

High inflation featuring rising food and gas prices, missing baby formula, and a hyperfocus on race and gender ideology seemingly are beginning to grate on the public’s nerves.

In the face of such issues, the common refrain from the president has been that it’s not his fault.

To Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., this is just par for the course.

Last week’s vote to authorize $40 billion in aid for Ukraine by Congress was difficult for many Republican lawmakers. The measure sailed through the House and passed in the Senate later in the week. Among those voting for passage was Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), the chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee.

During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Palmer said there was a “bigger picture” justification for his “yes” vote on the $40 billion.
