President Donald Trump on Friday said he will not sign the bipartisan housing bill “in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.” Because Trump has neither signed nor vetoed the bill within the Constitution’s 10-day review period, excluding Sundays, the legislation is expected to become law automatically Friday. In a Truth Social post, Trump doubled down on his opposition to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, arguing that election integrity legislation should take priority over the housing measure, which passed Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support.
“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House,” Trump wrote, adding that the SAVE America Act enjoys overwhelming support among Republicans and would require voter photo identification and proof of citizenship and sharply limit mail-in voting except for military personnel, disabled voters, those who are ill, and travelers. Trump also urged Senate Republicans to eliminate the legislative filibuster if necessary to pass the election bill, warning that Democrats would do the same if they regained control of Congress. “The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance,” Trump wrote. “The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen.”
