In an interview on CNN, Pelosi called the measures"absurdly unconstitutional" but she would not say whether Democrats would mount a legal challenge as"Something's wrong," she said."Either the president doesn't know what he's talking about ... or something's very wrong here about meeting the needs of the American people at this time."

In an interview on"This Week" on ABC, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declined to discuss whether he thought Trump's move was illegal, saying instead that"it doesn't do the job." "The president's executive orders, described in one word, could be paltry, in three words, unworkable, weak, and far too narrow," Schumer said, adding that they are"a big show, but it doesn't do anything.""Employers are just going to continue to withhold the money — I've talked to some — because they don't want their employees to be stuck with a huge bill in December," Schumer said."So it's not going to pump money into the economy.

"It's a stunt, there's no doubt about it," she said."It's most likely ... unconstitutional, bypassing Congress so spend money that he has no authority to direct." Clinton also criticized the effect that a payroll tax cut would have on Social Security and Medicare, which are significantly funded through those taxes.

Remember Trump didn't shut down your states. Your Governors have. Want change be careful who you vote into your state in 2020. Candidates aren't perfect but your state crisis is your states elected officials responsibility. Also why do so many politicians have mansions?

I back Pelosi 100%

the things that donald trump does never works

Pelosi is not much better then Trump she's too old to be in touch with today's society , over 30 year's in a cushy government job , and her an Trump are having a dick measuring contest at the United State's expense, this woman enjoys her power just as much as King Donald does

In an unprecedented twist, suddenly the constitution matters. mandates daca

Criticizing it is not enough

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR TRUMP, HIS ADMINISTRATION AND HIS 23 REPUBLICAN SENATORS, UP FOR RE-ELECTION IF YOU REALLY CARED ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEN WHY DIDN'T START NEGOTIATING THE SAME DAY THE DEMOCRATS PASSED THEIR HEROES BILL BACK IN MAY..WHY DID YOU WAIT 3 MONTHS.

Dems are pushing a $3.5 trillion bill for open borders, ending USA energy dominance, removing millions of jobs, giving failed dem states a trillion $s. Dems also want to give the wealthy a tax cut. Trump offered 3 deals to compromise with Schumer. Dems need to stop their bs.

She Blocked the Bill to help the American People and she got Trumped

Hopefully she started by saying that these orders were cherrypicked parts of the Heroes Act SpeakerPelosi

SpeakerPelosi Please join with BenSasse and other GOP members to stop Trumps power grab. Defend the Constitution with all your might. I know you've been battling for almost 4 years, but keep it up just a while long. We have November. Keep us a democracy until January 20. Biden

Trump & his appointees have been robbing the country blind & openly committing felonies for 4 years! So if Democrats think they can just publicly complain he's a fraud & say they don't like him, that they can then claim they had nothing to do with this catastrophe, they're crazy!

She has her own agenda with that money. Pot and reimbursement to cities destroyed by riots. She's busted. Lying hag.

Calm down. Annabelle Pelosi

Anything they argued would be used against Obama's illegal DACA EO

If anyone thinks what realDonaldTrump did was unconstitutional or wrong, you’re dumber than SpeakerPelosi 🤷🏻‍♂️

Behold The Men who Prophesied COVID-19 pandemic are Ministering live.

Dems should just wait and watch as Americans ask when their $400 checks arrive, because Trump’s EOs are complete BS. The money isn’t coming.

One of Eisenhower's EOs called for desegregation of schools and Truman's called for desegregation of the military and the Dems were up in arms then to calling such measures unconstitutional. What's up with the history of dems not really wanting to help citizens.

I hope FEMA has enough rolls of paper towels to make up for their deficit in hurricane relief funds.

Trump is the only adult in the room. The news media is like an unruly child.

I would like to see a tougher Congress. I would like Trump called out each time he breaks the rules and be held accountable. Fight fire with fire.

Obviously scripted and preplanned by Mnuchin and Meadows not to make a deal with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Schumer during the week, so Trump could look like an impromptu fixer CINC. He had prepared notes yesterday as we saw with an audience that 1/2

Speaker Pelosi asked for more money for Americans. The GOP wants to give less. GOP gave corporate America a 2 trillion dollars tax break that did not trickle down. I'm thinking I like SpeakerPelosi 's proposal much better. VoteJoeBiden2020

Pelosi has been wiping her ass with the constitution. Kinda rich coming from her.

Cannot fail to challenge the obvious illegality of this. The tyrant will only continue to get worse.

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer PLEASE RESIGN! You and the other Leaders of the Democratic Party have shown ALL AMERICANS that you would rather let cities crumble to the ground.. POLITICIZING PANDEMIC and Using Antifa as your foot soldiers.. ENOUGH!!

At least the President loves the people unlike Democrats!

Not to mention Larry Kudlow was just on cnn and was A HOT MESS. They have no idea what they’re doing and trump signed the order before they even checked with the states to see if they had the money. Larry has Frontal lobe dementia too. What a dumpster fire. 🤦🏼‍♀️👀😬

An 8% raising coming tomorrow morning

please fight to ensure we don’t receive the $400 per week. no crumbs to pelosi we know. SpeakerPelosi is the most hateful person in the US.

PELOSI & SCHUMER POISON PILLS: -Cover states deficits not related to COVID -No voters ID -No signature verification -Universal mailing ballot & BALLOT HARVESTING -stimulus check to illegal aliens Retweet clear message THE COVID PANDEMIC IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL ELECTION

A broadcast worth following, check it out

Pelosi needs a stronger backbone than that! Time will tell

Slop? She drinking again on the job?

This President is a run-away train for the billionaire class of this country. He doesn’t give a damn, or even understand what the rest of us with real jobs and bills to pay have to do to survive in this pandemic that he has made infinitely worse because of his own self-interest.

Since Trump is the only politician that cares about the American people we should reelect him and throw everybody else out... regardless of party.

She deflected and even tried to quote the Bible in order to not answer direct questions. Showing she doesn’t care for this nation but rather anything to just be negative against Trump

We are in the constitutional crisis they feared

Would just wait it out. Only one that's immediate is the student loan action. Other ones will take months to implement. Will probably have a law passed before then that would nullify them.

Pelosi I agree with you about gutting social security n all

Gotcha Nancy 😁

Sem pelosi por favor rs👎

Obstruction Democrats gonna obstruct

They are allowing the dissolution of Social Security ?

She didn’t say it because there is no legal challenge to be had. Thank Under current national emergency Trump has various tools at his disposal and he rightfully expertises an important one since Pelosi is more interested in politics than helping American families.

SpeakerPelosi is an old bag that needs to go away

Please drug test her prior to interviews

They don't like the president to get the job done.

It’s only constitutional when our team does it 🤡
