Nancy Pelosi Calls Trump Executive Orders “Unconstitutional Slop”
Bruce Haring pmc-editorial-managerHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi has blased the executive orders signed Saturday by President Donald Trump, claiming Democrats tried to reach a compromise with the Republicans on various stimulus measures, including extending a federal unemployment bump.The Trump executive orders extend the enhanced unemployment benefits that expired at the end of July, albeit slicing it to $400 and giving states the option not to increase to that full amount; create a “payroll tax holiday” until the end of 2020; and continue the moratorium on evictions for those holding federally backed mortgages while providing relief for student debt.
