THE NOTE: Republicans are joining Democrats in questioning the wisdom and constitutionality of the president's actions—with some GOP rising stars thinking about what the post-Trump era might look like.

President Donald Trump signs executive orders extending coronavirus economic relief, during a news conference in Bedminster, N.J. on Aug. 8, 2020.Sen. Ben Sasse called it"unconstitutional slop," in a statement referencing the"pen-and-phone theory of executive lawmaking" that conservatives once mocked former President Barack Obama for espousing.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden departs after speaking about reopening the country during a speech in Darby, Pa. Harris' background makes her arguably an interesting foil to Biden's insensitive comments last week. A biracial African American woman, with family legacy ties to India and Jamaica, she embodies the rich diversity of the black community in the country. Could that give her leverage now?

Nope. The Dems are joining the Republicans to question the actions of the democrat party and their destruction of America and it’s people for political gain.

The GOP is part of the problem, noone had the cojones to tell the a** hole he doesn't know what he is doing, and that he is delusional & crazy

4mmjf I get it, but Dumb ass trump has really made none of these decisions...they have been made for him...and weak Republicans who have allowed his shenanigans to continue should have kicked him out already...but no mater, he will be voted out in November!

Those GOP 'rising stars' are going to get shot out of the sky--along with their the rest of their deviant party--come November.

Misleading. The article is a political hit, not a journalistic reporting. Apart from mentioning Ben Sasse, the article doesn't list ANY other Republicans 'joining Democrats '. You lie.

Because they are not thinking how people will survive.

the president was doing HIS JOB while CONgress was NOT DOING THEIRS. what other option did mr. trump have left to him?

Finally

The Trump Republican Party will be a minority party for decades. They may not survive Trump.

LOL...All the same ole' same ole' TDS sufferers...nothing new here. Where were the democrats questioning the constitutionality of Obama's actions? They have nothing except turning their backs on helping the American people.

How to spot fascism....

This really isn't true and you know it. The Republicans have not stood in the way of any of Trump's corruption or his decimation of the Constitution-I dare say they end up giving him their blessings.

ABC bullshit

FakeNews is still pretending that the authority Trump used for this relief DIDN’T come from Obama’s DACA decree and the ruling by SCOTUS backing it up. If you lefties have a problem with this kind of Presidential power, maybe you shouldn’t have cheered Obama inventing it.

If he does not want to stop these orders congress should divert federal funding paid in taxes to cover employee and employer social security and medicare tax that has been deferred. It will also restore the elderly, disabled and the unemployment benefits.

Trump will destroy the Republican Party, the United States as well as the planet earth in order to boost his ego or make a buck. He only cares about himself.

So we are gonna talk about hunter Biden’s wages again

So sick of the anti Trump stories...

Nobody cares what RINOS think.

What rising stars are in the GOP?....thats funny

No meat on that stories bones. Only Sasse referenced.

Lololol name one serious Republican taking action against Trump. I’ll wait...

The real GOP is dead. It is now the radical right party of racism, QAnon, conspiracy theories and Trump Twitter fictions

Unless Trump is held accountable for his abuse of power, the country can expect severe damage.

Unconstitutional? What about Obama's DACA order? I think Donald Trump is doing whatever he can to get us moving again. We are on a stalemate now. He is trying to get the economy to run again.

let’s do nothing then?

Actually, Republicans applauded the initiative realDonaldTrump showed. His leadership saved lives and homes.

concern

Only Barry has a pen and a phone!

GOP, DOJ, MIA, FSA, DSL,MBA,CFA,LMFA0, dedication 6.

Think it's unconstitutional? Then so was Obama's DACA order.

Trump dirty tricks: Ending Census count early, slowing down mail delivery, trying to get Kanye West on the ballot.

Republicans..democrats..ugh. We need different and new once this nightmare is over, NOT more of the same which could lead to another debacle like this.

Yeah, but which of those GOP rising stars is going to do jack shit about anything? Sasse? Cotton? Not a chance in hell.

“If Congress won’t act, I will.” “I have a pen and a phone.”

Why is everybody so mean to my gracious host? Please don't make us move again.

Trump criticizes media in front of his club's membersBrian Williams: 'The press was summoned for a press conference that turned out to be a campaign rally of sorts in front of a crowd of assembled members of [President Trump's] golf club ... some of them brought their kids, many were not wearing masks.' When does realDonaldTrump ever hold a press conference that isn't a Trump rally? How long before the press realizes they're being used? And why is the press allowing trump to continue to disrespect the office of president? Any other president would have more demanded of him. Disrespecting free press us right out of the Hitler playbook. Trump wants to be a dictator. he is destroying our Democracy and is poised to declare martial law so he can stay in power and declare himself the absolute ruler of America. Shameless fellow. No sense of proper norms. Goner!
