Housing bill becomes law without Trump signature after president blocks vote-tied measure
A bipartisan housing bill was enacted into law without the president's signature on July 11, 2026, after Trump refused to sign it in response to Congress's failure to pass the SAVE Act, which would have affected voting procedures. The bill became law through the constitutional process that allows legislation to become law without a presidential signature after 10 days. The president's refusal to sign was explicitly conditioned on congressional action on a separate voting-related bill.
