Trump cancels signing of bipartisan US housing bill
Trump canceled the signing after the bill won overwhelming bipartisan support, saying Congress must first approve stricter voter ID rules.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump canceled the signing of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, declaring he would delay it until Congress passes the controversial SAVE America Act.

- Federal courts recently ruled the administration's expanded Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system is unlawful, adding legal complexity to the debate over the proposed federal election requirements.
