Bipartisan housing bill becomes law after Trump refuses to sign it in SAVE Act protest
The Hill—The most significant bipartisan housing affordability bill in decades automatically became law after President Trump declined to sign it as a protest over the Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act voter ID legislation. Trump called the legislation a "big yawn" and refused to sign, though it took effect under law once the deadline passed. The bill's passage without Trump's blessing was seen as a rare bipartisan win on housing supply, though experts warned Americans would still struggle with affordability. Critics noted Trump's protest failed to move the SAVE Act in the Senate.
