Congress’ marquee housing legislation aimed at increasing the country’s housing supply is set to become law at midnight — without President Donald Trump’s signature.
“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump, who could still change his mind and sign the legislation, posted on Friday.
The bill, known as the “21st Century ROAD to Housing,” is the first major housing legislation to come out of Congress in more than three decades and represents one of the biggest legislative achievements this year for both chambers. Trump repeatedly pushed for the legislation — before abruptly canceling a signing ceremony and calling the bill a “yawn” relative to election reforms he wants passed.
