But Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, has said that Republicans did not have the votes required.”“Though the president said he would not sign the housing bill, it can still become law without his signature. If Congress is in session, legislation can generally become law 10 days after a bill is enrolled and presented to the president.”ABC News: Trump cancels signing of bipartisan housing bill until his SAVE America Act is passed.
