Trump allows landmark housing bill to become law without his signature

WASHINGTON — A landmark affordable housing bill became federal law at midnight July 11 without President Donald Trump's signature after he refused to sign the legislation in protest of Congress not passing an unrelated bill to overhaul voting in elections.

The bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act had sat on Trump's desk since June 29 after clearing both chambers by wide margins with strong bipartisan support. Because he neither signed nor vetoed the bill after 10 days, the bill automatically became law without any action.

After being noncommittal about his plans, Trump in a July 10 Truth Social post said he wouldn't sign the bill because Congress hasn't passed the SAVE America Act, a stalled bill he backs that would require photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and prohibit universal mail-in voting across the country.

"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 said.
