The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law at midnight Saturday after President Trump neither signed nor vetoed it within the required 10-day window. The bill passed the Senate 85-5 and the House 358-32 last month. Trump stated his refusal to sign was a protest over the Senate's inaction on the Save America Act.
