(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump said in a social media post Friday morning that he “will not sign” the bipartisan housing reform package, which he abruptly placed into limbo last month after demanding that his signature election reform law be sent to his desk alongside it.

Trump said he won’t sign the housing bill “in PROTEST” over the Senate’s inability to pass the Save America Act.

The housing bill can still become law overnight Friday without the president’s signature — once 10 days have elapsed following the bill’s presentment to the president. If Trump issues a veto, Congress would need to attempt to override the veto for the measure to become law.
