Trump allows housing bill to become law without his signature

President Donald Trump declined to veto the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which Congress approved in June, letting it become law overnight Friday.

• Trump refused to sign the bill in protest over Congress's failure to pass voter ID legislation, but did not veto it.
• The bill aims to lower housing costs by easing homebuilding and limiting institutional investor purchases of single-family homes.
• House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said Republicans "would rather make it harder to vote than easier to afford a home."
• Trump reiterated his call for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship.
