Trump signs executive orders aimed at bypassing Congress on coronavirus relief
President Trump on Saturday said he was bypassing Congress and taking unilateral action to provide financial relief to Americans struggling during the coronavirus crisis, despite uncertainty about his legal authority to do so.
Trump also said states would be asked to contribute 25% of the cost — or $100 per week — raising the possibility that the supplement would only total $300 if states did not participate. Story continuesAsked on Saturday whether his decision to reduce the weekly payments to unemployed workers by $200 would pose a hardship, Trump said it would not."This gives them a great incentive to go back to work," he said."There was difficulty with the $600 number because it really was a disincentive."
Democrats, who control the House, are asking for $3.4 trillion. Republicans, who control the Senate, want to keep the stimulus under $1 trillion. "We could begin to meet in the middle," he said."Unfortunately, [Republicans] rejected it. They said they couldn't go much above their existing $1 trillion, and that was disappointing.
