Trump Declines to Sign Bipartisan Housing Affordability Legislation

Why it matters locally: The President's decision not to sign bipartisan housing affordability legislation could affect federal funding and initiatives aimed at addressing housing challenges in Washington state, particularly in densely populated areas like King County and Seattle.

President Donald Trump stated he would not sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill. The legislation is set to become law Friday without his signature. Under the Constitution, a bill passed by Congress becomes law if the president does not sign or veto it within 10 days, excluding Sundays, while Congress remains in session. Friday marks the conclusion of this 10-day period for the housing measure.
