Trump withholds signature as housing bill becomes law
President Donald J. Trump announced he would not sign the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act, saying his refusal was tied to the Senate’s inaction on the SAVE America voter-ID proposal, CNBC reported. He reiterated the stance later, noting that the measure would become law automatically at midnight unless vetoed, NPR noted.
When the ten-day period elapsed, the bill automatically took effect, with the president’s signature still withheld, AP News said. The Guardian added that the automatic enactment occurred despite the ongoing standoff over the separate voting legislation. CBS News confirmed the legislation became law after Trump’s refusal, and the BBC reported the same outcome, noting Congress had passed the act.
