President Trump said on Friday that he will not sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which is set to pass into law tonight, in protest over the Senate not passing the SAVE America Act.
“THE SAVE AMERICA ACT’S non-passage is CRAZY, and a serious threat to any politician who votes against it!” Trump exclaimed in a lengthy TruthSocial post.
Trump went on to call on Senate Republicans to terminate the filibuster in an effort to pass the legislation, warning that Democrats will eliminate the parliamentary procedure if they win back the majority in the chamber.
“The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour – And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again! The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself!” the president said.
Trump’s comments come just hours before the bipartisan housing legislation passed late last month is automatically set to go into law at midnight if the president does veto the bill.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has said that Trump will not stop the legislation even if he doesn’t sign it.
“He won’t veto the bill. We already know that. He’ll either allow it to just go into law, or he’ll put his signature on it and take partial ownership, and I hope he does the latter,” Johnson said in an interview with USA Today.
The president sent shockwaves through Washington when he abruptly cancelled a signing ceremony for the bill at the Capitol last month, saying he would not sign the legislation until the SAVE America Act is passed.
The housing bill aims to roll back some permitting regulations and restrict corporations from purchasing single-family homes, as well as incentivising developers to turn vacant or abandoned buildings into housing. Additionally, it would give grants and loans to people to rebuild older homes.
