Housing Bill in Limbo: Sign, Veto, or Pocket-Veto

The bipartisan housing bill cleared Congress but is now in limbo after President Trump canceled plans to sign it. The bill could become law if Congress forwards it and Trump does not act within 10 days; it could be pocket-vetoed if Congress adjourns or is in recess when the period ends; or Trump could veto it, forcing a two-thirds override in both chambers for it to become law. Speaker Johnson may move the measure forward or adjust recess timing to avoid a pocket veto, but legal questions about recess vs. adjournment cloud the timing. The outcome hinges on Trump’s next move and how Congress handles the clock, with Republicans eager to show progress on high living costs.
