Johnson met with Trump and urged him to sign the bill, which has overwhelming congressional support, but Trump indicated he would consider it. Johnson believes trump is unlikely to veto the bill, expecting the president to either sign it or let it pass into law. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Johnson is also working to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of U.S.citizenship to register to vote, as part of other legislative efforts. Trump previously refused to sign the housing bill, citing his preference for the voting legislation. Johnson reassured that Congress will continue to push both measures simultaneously,with the House using the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to incorporate the SAVE America Act and advance it through the Senate,though resistance from some Senators remains.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some Republicans, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have opposed procedural moves to bring the voting legislation to the House floor until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >highlighting ongoing intra-party disagreements<\/a>. Johnson\u2019s strategy involves linking the voting bill to broader defense legislation, but critics like Luna emphasize the importance of including thier amendment directly in the NDAA to ensure passage.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Speaker <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"7043\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) said he is confident a bipartisan housing package will become law even if President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> never signs it, arguing the White House and congressional Republicans are pursuing parallel tracks to advance the president\u2019s election priorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2026\/06\/29\/trump-veto-housing-bill-mike-johnson\/90746658007\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2026\/06\/29\/trump-veto-housing-bill-mike-johnson\/90746658007\/\">with <em>USA Today<\/em><\/a>  published Monday, Johnson said he met with Trump and urged him to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act after it cleared both chambers with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/citizens-object-to-2020-election\/\" title=\"Citizens Object To 2020 Election\">overwhelming support<\/a>, but Trump said he would think about it.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4628187\/how-much-voters-know-lawmakers-health\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>How much should voters know about lawmakers\u2019 health?<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4629992\/summer-lee-2028-primary-john-fetterman\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Summer Lee\u2019s allies eager to see \u2018Squad\u2019 Democrat primary Fetterman in 2028<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4629875\/mike-johnson-save-america-act-defense-bill\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Johnson unveils plan to tie SAVE America Act to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hispanic-caucus-takes-aim-at-african-american-veterans-service-on-key-panel\/\" title=\"Hispanic Caucus Takes Aim at African-American Veteran\u2019s Service on Key Panel\">annual defense bill<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments come after Trump last week <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4622719\/trump-cancels-major-housing-bill-signing-demand-save-act\/\">refused to sign<\/a> the sweeping housing bill aimed at making homes more affordable, saying he wanted <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"31\">Congress<\/a> to first pass the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/save-america-act\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"22939\">SAVE America Act<\/a>, legislation requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.
