The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will do so much for the people of the St. Louis region, the state of Missouri, and millions of Americans across the country. I hear all the time from folks in the district about the housing crisis in America. This bill will help people build generational wealth through homeownership and give them a shot at a foundational piece of the American Dream. Despite this amazing win for the American people, what saddens me is our president’s 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. Instead of doing what’s best for the American people, we have a president who holds good legislative progress hostage when he doesn’t get his way. I look forward to continuing to work in Congress to push for legislation that helps every American fight for their dreams.” | 1 | 2026-07-21T07:32:02Z | 2026-07-21T07:33:33Z |
