Housing Bill Becomes Law without Trump’s Signature
The housing bill became law without Trump's signature as the White House simultaneously removed all Election Assistance Commission members, critics say.
- On Saturday, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law without President Donald Trump's signature after he declined to sign or veto the bipartisan measure within the mandatory 10-day constitutional window.
- Trump refused to sign the legislation to protest the Senate's failure to advance the SAVE America Act, a separate proposal requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration.
- Late Thursday, the White House ousted the final three members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the agency leaderless and unable to make decisions four months before the 2026 midterms.
- Analysts suggest the purge allows the administration to rewrite voter registration forms by fiat, mirroring the stalled SAVE America Act after a recent Supreme Court ruling expanded executive authority to gut independent agencies.
- While the housing law aims to address the nation's shortage of approximately 10 million homes by cutting federal regulations, experts caution that significant relief for homebuyers remains a long-term process.
