Doesn’t Congress have more important duties than trying to pass a law that already exists?

You can vote in U.S. federal, state, and local elections if you:
Are a U.S. citizen (some areas allow non-citizens to vote in local elections only)
Meet your state’s residency requirements
You can be experiencing homelessness and still meet these requirements.
Are 18 years old on or before Election Day
In almost every state, you can register to vote before you turn 18 if you will be 18 by Election Day.
Some states allow 17-year-olds who will be 18 by Election Day to vote in primaries.
Are registered to vote by your state's voter registration deadline. North Dakota does not require voter registration.
Who cannot vote?
Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections.

Then there shouldn't be a problem with a little extra icing. You have to have your ID when you go to the liquor store.

SGT (Join to see) there are very few things you need an ID for. Alcohol purchases, yes, because it’s sale is restricted by age, not citizenship status. Driving? Not a citizenship issue. Tobacco? Not a citizenship issue.
