President Trump cancels signing of bipartisan housing bill until Congress passes SAVE America Act.
President Trump canceled a planned signing ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act less than two hours before it was scheduled, stating he would not sign any legislation until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The housing bill had passed both chambers with strong bipartisan support (House 358-32, Senate 85-5). The SAVE America Act, which would impose federal voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements, faces opposition in the Senate.
