This bill will help people build generational wealth through homeownership and give them a shot at a foundational piece of the American Dream.\n\nDespite this amazing win for the American people, what saddens me is our president\u2019s refusal to sign this bill into law even with its overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers. This bill only became law because of a constitutional 10-day rule, which automatically makes legislation that was passed by both chambers law if the president has not signed the bill after ten days.\n\nInstead of doing what\u2019s best for the American people, we have a president who holds good legislative progress hostage when he doesn\u2019t get his way.\n\nI look forward to continuing to work in Congress to push for legislation that helps every American fight for their dreams.\u201d", 1, "2026-07-21T07:32:02Z", "2026-07-21T07:33:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bell.house.gov/media/press-releases/representative-bell-issues-statement-21st-century-road-housing-act-becoming"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6672409363090992, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
