President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he was canceling the signing of a landmark bipartisan housing bill until Congress passes the restrictive voter ID legislation he has forcefully championed in recent months.
Known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the package passed both chambers of Congress this week with overwhelming support from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The legislation includes dozens of provisions aimed at eliminating barriers to building homes and lowering housing costs.
Before Trump’s abrupt announcement on Wednesday, the White House had expressed support for the bill. In a social media post on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called it “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history.”
Trump has previously vowed not to sign any legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which would require people to provide proof of citizenship and photo identification in order to vote in federal elections, among other changes. The House passed the legislation in February, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said that Republicans don’t have the votes needed to push the bill through the upper chamber. The issue has become a source of tension between congressional Republicans and Trump
In any other government, "I'll do this for you if you do that for me" is called politics as usual. But when it's Trump, oh no! How dare he demand something in return!
