Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday that Congress will transmit the bipartisan housing bill to President Donald Trump for his signature after a more than three-hour long "very productive meeting" at the White House with the president -- but he did not say when that will happen.

The speaker's comment came a day after Trump abruptly scrapped a signing ceremony for the bill until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, his signature election and voting reform legislation.

"We're on exactly the same page," Johnson said of himself and the president. "He -- he is -- wants to ensure that we stop any blockade in the House. Congress has work to do, and that's what we're going to do, and so we'll be moving forward on all of that. We're transmitting the housing bill to the White House."

Transmitting the bill to the White House would start a 10-day clock for the president to either sign or veto the bill; otherwise it would become law. The bill passed both the Senate and House by a veto-proof majority. Johnson has said he expects the president will sign the bill.

EMPHASIS.

The media keeps playing games with what is in the Constitution in order to manufacture some sort of nonexistent "win" by omission or minimizing or the obfuscation of actual procedural facts.
