"Despite the amorphous nature of the authority to issue executive orders, presidential memoranda, and proclamations, these instruments have been employed by every President since the inception of the Republic," the CRS report says. "We've got two sides, you know, one's at $1 trillion, another's at $3 trillion The first thing you have to do is agree on some number in between. Once you do that, step two is figure out within that what you both agree on," Navarro said."And then what you do is you trade off, go back and forth across the table what you want, respecting each other's red lines. You don't make the Republicans pay for Planned Parenthood or pot farms, for example.
"If that is the standard, we've not only accepted it, we've offered it," Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said in response to Navarro's comments."We were at $3.4 trillion in the bill that Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats passed 12 weeks ago. 12 weeks ago. And now, we've come down to the range of 2 trillion. They were at a trillion. We've asked them to come up a trillion. It does exactly what Navarro suggested.
