WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥 President Donald Trump has chosen not to sign a sweeping on Friday, in protest of Congress not approving a strict voter ID bill that does not have enough support to pass.
鈥淚 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,鈥 Trump posted on social media.
Still, the housing measure could become law on Friday without Trump鈥檚 signature, as he had 10 days to issue a veto and stop the measure. Trump鈥檚 post simply says that he will not sign it.
Trump鈥檚 rejection of the bipartisan housing legislation exacerbates tensions with his own party in a midterm election year and cuts short their efforts to address a key voter concern about rising costs. His post comes more than a week after he canceled plans to sign the bipartisan legislation, announcing he was using it as leverage in his push for a strict voter ID bill.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It鈥檚 the most sweeping effort in decades to address America鈥檚 housing affordability problems.
