Trump Won't Sign Housing Bill With CBDC Ban—Will It Become Law Tonight Anyway?
DECRYPT ·
President Trump said he will not sign a bipartisan housing bill containing a temporary CBDC ban. It will automatically become law tonight at midnight unless he vetoes it. The White House declined to say whether Trump plans to issue a veto before the deadline. President Donald Trump said Thursday he will not sign a bipartisan housing bill that includes a multi-year ban on the issuance of a U.S. central bank digital currency, or CBDC. Unless the president actively vetoes the legislation before midnight tonight, however, it will automatically become law. "I will not sign the housing bill," Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling his move a "protest" over the Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, a controversial bill restricting voting rights he has championed for months. Republican congressional leadership has repeatedly emphasized the bill stands little to no chance of passage. But Trump’s refusal to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act wouldn’t kill the bill. Under the Constitution, a bill passed by Congress automatically becomes law after 10 days without the president's signature, provided Congress remains in session. That deadline expires at the end of Friday.
