Johnson says housing bill will become law, with or without Trump
Johnson said the housing measure will become law even if Trump refuses to sign it, after Congress approved it with bipartisan support.
- On June 29, House Speaker Mike Johnson told USA Today the bipartisan housing bill approved last week will become law with or without President Donald Trump's signature, giving the president 10 days to decide.
- President Trump dismissed the housing legislation as "a big yawn" and "unimportant" compared to his priority, the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to provide proof of citizenship.
- Johnson is reportedly weighing a tactical plan to combine the housing measure with a must-pass annual defense policy bill, despite risks to the defense bill by attaching controversial housing provisions.
- The bill was formally transmitted to the White House on June 29, officially starting the countdown for presidential action before the statutory 10-day window closes.
- Conservative hard-liners in the House continue withholding support for the housing bill until the SAVE America Act advances, further complicating the speaker's legislative schedule ahead of upcoming deadlines.
