According to the U.S. Constitution, a President has ten days except Sundays to sign a bill before it becomes law if Congress has not adjourned. Senator Rosen supported this bipartisan bill in the Senate , where it passed with overwhelming support from both Democrats and Republicans. Hours before Trump was scheduled to sign the legislation into law, he canceled his plans to do so, citing his desire to pass unrelated legislation that would make it more difficult for millions of eligible voters to cast their ballots. As the bipartisan housing bill gathers dust on Trump’s desk, the Las Vegas Sun reported that Las Vegas home prices are at a record high. “While hardworking Nevadans are being squeezed by high housing costs, Donald Trump is holding a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs hostage because he claims it is ‘so unimportant,’” said Senator Rosen. “Democrats and Republicans in Congress worked together across party lines to address the housing crisis, but Trump is delaying it from becoming law because he’s more focused on his extreme bill to nationalize elections, his efforts to waste millions in taxpayer dollars on luxury upgrades to his $400 million Qatari private jet, and his gilded White House ballroom. Fortunately, this bipartisan bill will become law with or without Trump’s signature, but Nevadans will remember how he stood in the way of desperately-needed financial relief in pursuit of his self-serving goals.” In the Senate, Senator Rosen has prioritized actions to help lower the cost of housing for Nevadans. She helped pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in the Senate, and immediately called on Trump to sign it following his cancellation of the signing ceremony. Senator Rosen has also introduced legislation to exempt homebuilding materials from Trump’s tariffs, a bipartisan bill to support small businesses in the housing industry, and bipartisan legislation to help grow the construction workforce, making it easier to build and bring down costs. ### Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Flickr Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy Contact Email Jacky Request a Meeting Office Locations Newsletter Signup Privacy Policy For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations For Nevadans Constituent Services Help With a Federal Agency Flag Requests Tour Requests Internships Senate Page Nominations Academy Nominations Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding Resource Guides Veterans Resource Guide Senior Resource Guide Small Business Pocket Guide Federal Funding Grant Requests Appropriations Requests Community Project Funding About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos About Jacky Biography Committees Voting Record Legislation News Press Releases In the News Videos
