When Rep. Mary Miller saw President Donald Trump’s announcement of plans to ban large investors from buying single-family homes, she immediately volunteered to introduce a bill to codify it, she said.

“It’s been an issue that the Family Caucus has been discussing, and I’m thrilled to see President Trump’s tweet and that he’s making this a priority,” Miller, a Republican from Illinois who chairs the Congressional Family Caucus, told The Daily Signal.

Miller expects Trump to sign an executive order banning large investors from buying single-family homes, and then her bill will codify that policy into law.

The mother of seven said she is working on the bill text with the White House. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said he will introduce a similar bill in the Senate.

This is a terrific idea and long overdue. I will gladly introduce this bill in the Senate
