Donald Trump Refuses to Sign 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
Trump leverages a housing bill to pressure Senate on voting laws.
Event Overview
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will not sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which aims to increase housing supply and restrict Wall Street investors. He is using this refusal as a protest against the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires photo ID and proof of citizenship for voting. Trump also abruptly canceled a scheduled signing ceremony for the bill in Statuary Hall. Because he did not explicitly issue a veto, the housing bill may still automatically become law.
