The Bipartisan Housing Bill Is Set to Become Law, Despite Trump’s Refusal to Sign It

But the housing legislation, which was formally presented to Trump on June 29, is poised to become law anyway. Typically, if Congress is in session, a bill can become law 10 days—excluding Sundays—after it is presented to the President, even if the President doesn’t put their signature on it. For the housing package, that period ends on Friday, meaning that even if Trump doesn’t sign the bill, it will become law after midnight, unless he decides to veto it.

The President didn’t mention the possibility of vetoing the bill in his Truth Social post, and when asked by TIME for clarification on whether he is planning to do so, the White House replied by sending Trump’s Truth Social post.

The housing bill, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, is a landmark piece of legislation that includes dozens of provisions intended to remove barriers to building homes and lower the cost of housing. The bill passed the House and the Senate last month, with significant support on both sides of the political aisle.
