WASHINGTON – The landmark housing bill that Congress approved last week will become law with or without President Donald Trump's signature, House Speaker Mike Johnson says.
The president will either allow the bipartisan bill that passed the House and Senate with overwhelming majorities to go into effect or he will come around to signing it, Johnson told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview at the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson said he again pushed the president during a two-hour Oval Office meeting on Monday, June 29, to sign the legislation that aims to make housing more affordable. "He said he'll think about it, and we'll talk about it again this week," Johnson said.
Either way, the bill will become law, Johnson asserted. "He won't veto the bill. We already know that. He'll either allow it to just go into law, or he'll put his signature on it and take partial ownership, and I hope he does the latter."
