President Trump signs executive orders extending unemployment payments, other benefits after White House, Congress fail to reach stimulus deal.
WASHINGTON – With talks with Congress at an impasse, President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Saturday
Trump said he also would instruct employers to defer certain payroll taxes through the end of the year for Americans who earn less than $100,000 annually. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., met for more than two hours Friday with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in a last-ditch attempt to salvage discussions. But the effort appeared fruitless, with both sides admitting they were at a standstill with no real pathway forward.
Before leaving for a trip to Ohio on Thursday, Trump said he had instructed his staff to work on the details of orders regarding a payroll tax cut, suspension of evictions, student loan repayment options, and an extension of unemployment benefits.Congressional lawmakers had interpreted Trump's threat as a way to pressure negotiators into making a deal. Even some Republicans said they believed Trump was bluffing.
"Rather than bestowing benefits, he would simply instruct the government not to collect taxes for example, or evict people in federal housing," said Blackman, a professor of constitutional law at South Texas College of Law in Houston. The law also suspended payments on some student loans. That provision is set to expire at the end of September.
