Housing bill is set to become law without Trump’s signature
A federal housing measure is due to take effect at midnight after President Donald Trump said he would not approve it unless Congress passes his voter ID proposal first.
A major housing bill is scheduled to become law at midnight in the United States, even though President Donald Trump says he will not sign it. The measure is moving forward because Congress has already approved it.
Trump has said he is withholding his signature until lawmakers pass a separate voter ID bill he wants. The housing measure does not appear to be tied to that demand, according to NPR.
The development leaves the housing legislation on track to take effect without the president’s approval. NPR reported the bill’s enactment was expected at midnight on July 10.
The episode comes amid a broader standoff between the White House and Congress over election rules and other priorities.
