President Comments on Housing Bill, Seeks Voter ID Provision

The president described a housing bill as acceptable despite containing numerous provisions associated with Democrats. Officials noted the legislation would benefit from inclusion of a voter ID requirement before final approval.

The bill addresses housing policy measures under consideration by Congress. The president indicated willingness to sign the measure once the additional provision is incorporated. The comments reflect ongoing negotiations between the administration and lawmakers over the final text. No timeline for further action was specified in the remarks.
