House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally transmitted the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act to the White House, triggering the constitutional 10-day period for presidential action.
If President Donald Trump neither signs nor vetoes the measure within that timeframe while Congress remains in session, it will automatically become law.
Republican congressional leaders have maintained that the bill currently lacks sufficient support to clear the Senate.
Despite the impasse, Johnson said following a meeting with Trump that the two remain aligned on broader legislative priorities and proceeded with sending the housing measure to the White House.
The move allows the constitutional review process to begin regardless of the president's public stance.
Republican lawmakers hope the legislation will become law ahead of the November midterm elections, where housing affordability is expected to be a major campaign issue.

If Trump does not take action within 10 days after the White House receives the bill, it will automatically become law, as long as Congress is in session. https://t.co/zD0ehNnwyE
