The ban is not yet law as of 10/19

Both the House and Senate approved the current bill, S.2195

The bill includes a 90-day grace period that begins the day the bill becomes law.

The bill was "enrolled" to the President on 10/13

As of 10/19, the President hasn't signed it into law.

After receiving the bill, the President has 10 days to sign. Apparently this is actual days excluding Sundays

Without a presidential signature, the bill will become law on the 10th day, Monday,
October 25th, and the 90-day grace period would go through January 23rd.

With a presidential signature, the bill could become law earlier than the 25th

In general, if 10 days pass without a presidential signature, a bill automatically becomes law as long as Congress has not already "adjourned."

In general, if 10 days pass without a presidential signature, a bill does NOT become law if Congress has "adjourned." This is also known as a "pocket veto."

There's some confusion about the meaning of "adjourned." Although the House website does say they've adjourned, they haven't adjourned for the year. They will have a lame duck session in December meaning a pocket veto is not possible.

Bush will not veto this bill
