美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布，将让由国会批准的跨党派住房法案在不签署的情况下自动成为法律，以此表达对参议院未能通过《拯救美国法》的抗议 [1]。该决定是在他拥有十天期限来决定是否签署、否决或允许法案生效的背景下做出的 [1]。这一举措被视为对共和党在推动严格选民身份证立法方面进展缓慢的不满回应 [1]。
这项名为《21 世纪住房道路法案》（The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act）的法案旨在降低住房成本并刺激建设，被认为是几十年来最广泛的联邦努力之一 [1]。尽管白宫经济学家估计全国存在约 1000 万套住房短缺 [1]，但特朗普认为该法案的重要性不及选民身份验证立法 [1]。他在社交媒体上发帖称：“我不会签署住房法案……以抗议参议院无法通过《拯救美国法》”[1]。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊对此表示希望特朗普能签署该法案，但也指出即使他不签，它仍然会成为法律 [1]。此前，参议院以 85-5 的票数通过了该法案，众议院则以 358-32 的票数通过 [1]。这一决定加剧了与共和党内部分歧，并为民主党提供了批评其优先事项的机会 [1]。与此同时，全国房地产经纪人协会数据显示，6 月中位销售价格同比上涨 1.8% 至 440,600 美元 [1]。
President Donald Trump announced he would allow a bipartisan housing bill to become law without his signature as a protest against the slow progress of Republican-led efforts on strict voter identification legislation [1]. The decision comes after Congress approved "The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act," which aims to lower housing costs and stimulate construction, representing one of the broadest federal initiatives in decades [1]. Trump stated via social media that he would not sign the bill because the Senate failed to pass a version of the "Save America" law addressing voter ID issues [1].
The President has ten days from receipt of congressional approval to decide whether to sign or veto legislation, and he chose to let it automatically take effect despite his objections [1]. This move highlights Trump's view that housing policy is less critical than voting rights measures at this moment, a stance that exacerbates divisions within the Republican Party while providing Democrats an opportunity to criticize GOP priorities [1].
House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed hope for a signature but acknowledged the legal outcome regardless of presidential action, stating, "I hope he signs it... even if he doesn't sign it, it is still law" [1]. The legislation passed with significant majorities in both chambers: 85-5 in the Senate and 358-32 in the House [1].
The bill addresses a severe national shortage estimated by White House economists at 10 million housing units [1]. Current market conditions reflect ongoing pressure, as data from the National Association of Realtors shows that median home sales prices rose 1.8% year-over-year to $440,600 in June [1].
