The housing bill

The housing bill, passed with broad bipartisan support, aims to address affordability and supply issues, including curbing large investment funds. It was sent to the White House by House Speaker Mike Johnson, triggering a 10-day countdown to become law even without the president's signature. Source: CNN

The election reform

Trump's demanded election reform, the "SAVE America" law, would require voters to present proof of citizenship, a photo ID, and eliminate mail-in ballots, which Trump claims are fraudulent. Non-citizen voting is already illegal, but the reform tightens verification. Polls show 97% Republican support.

Trump urged Republicans to end the filibuster to pass it, warning that Democrats would do the same if they regain control. Source: CNN
