House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday officially sent a landmark housing bill to President Donald Trump's desk after he canceled a signing ceremony and said he wouldn't approve the measure until the Senate approved the SAVE America Act.

Johnson's action starts the 10-day clock for Trump to either sign or veto the bill. If he takes no action, the bill automatically becomes law. A spokesperson for Johnson confirmed to CNN that he had sent Trump the bill.

Trump had been set to sign the bill at a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol, though he abruptly canceled those plans and demanded that the Senate approve a marquis voter ID bill before he would sign the housing package.

Johnson indicated on Sunday that he planned to send the bill to Trump's desk, saying “I certainly want him to take the biggest, boldest marker that he has and do that big Trump signature proudly on that legislation because we’re delivering for the people, and that’s what he wants to do."

The SAVE America Act is a marquis voter ID bill that has languished in the Senate, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune unable to secure 60 votes to clear the filibuster threshold and unwilling to alter chamber rules to pass it with fewer.
